Farms & Zoos Kids Activities Melbourne
It's about getting connected...getting involved...having fun and learning about all creatures great and small at the Melbourne Zoo.
Everything is a top attraction at the zoo but a few worth noting and 'must do's' are the Orang-utan Santuary where you'll go on a journey along an elevated boardwalk and ascend into their tree-top world. Trail of the Elephants is a multi-award winning development that takes visitors into an Asian village and garden setting which is home to the Zoo’s five elephants: Bong Su, Mek Kapah, Dokkoon, Num-Oi and Kulab.
