If your children like wildlife, then there are plenty of reasons to visit Melbourne Zoo. Among its highlights are the gorilla family living in a tropical rainforest habitat and the Australian bush enclosures that house cuddly koalas, jumping kangaroos, fluffy wombats, and platypuses and their distinctive duck-like beaks. Big and little kids will also love walking along the elevated walkways that allow them to experience the treetop world of the orangutan sanctuary, or meandering through the tropical glass house filled with colorful butterflies. Planning your visit around the "Meet the Keeper" presentations will ensure that your day is not only fun but educational, too. This busy program helps kids learn about everything from giant tortoises and tigers to meerkats and baboons.
