  Still had an amazing day and the safari was by far the most amazing part as well as see the feed the hippos.

  Very, very family oriented and friendly. So many places for kids to play, plenty of water refilling stations and bathrooms, plenty of cafes and places to eat a packed lunch. It's essentially a giant playground for kids with a few sleeping animals in-between the different play areas. This zoo is essential to do if you have kids. If not I'd probably go to the main Melbourne zoo instead as there seemed to be more animals there. Safari that was included in the ticket price was probably the highlight of the day.

  Family friendly place with good facilities. As it is quite big and there’s not many trees at some parts, it can get quite hot in summer - make sure to bring a hat and plenty of water. May be quite tiring for little ones to finish off the entire zoo in one day too. The safari is great as a break in the middle of the walk. Be prepared to expect most animals sleeping during the day and not much action.

  Really great experience, would recommend doing the smaller bus for the safari tour even though it's a bit pricey, it was truly amazing. Only thing was the first little bit of the park was a little boring, would be nice to have another enclosure towards the front. As well the tortoise was the a little hard to find and it wasn't clear that it might be in the inside area to is closed after a certain time so we didn't prioritize it.

  A must do is the safari ride, where you will come close to the beautiful residents of the zoo.

  The lion enclosure is simply amazing and you will feel as if the lions are just in front of you.

  There are a lot of spaces for a picnic, so pack a picnic and enjoy your time on the greens. There is a marvelous playground that your little person will enjoy, while you chill on the lawn.

  Went there thinking this is going to be boring. Left 5 hours later really impressed with what we saw. The range and type of animals was impressive. The open range area has many animals living in harmony, obviously predarors were in separate areas. The dangerous animals were in places that allowed you to get up close without being in danger but you could appreciate their size and ability. We wish we had more time. One thing was that when we were there a lot of schools were visiting and the staff kept them busy and separate so they in no way interfered with our enjoyment.
