Q: Can visitors bring their own food and drinks to Melbourne Zoo?

A great day out at the Melbourne Zoo

One of the best planned zoos I have ever visited. The different themed paths to follow make the visitor's experience very pleasant. The construction is exquisite to hold many animals in a small piece of land in the middle of the city. Definitely recommend for all animal lovers like me.

A private facetime with the animals!

A great way to have a leisurely, private time with the zoo animals before the rush. The keepers are very accommodating, answering all questions and even taking pictures for the memories. Worth your time for animal lovers!

Worth a visit

Even though I'm personally not a great fan of seeing animals caged, Melbourne Zoo is a wonderful experience for all ages. All of the guides were very knowledgeable about the animals in their sector, and were happy to answer any questions posed. Only real advice would be to wear comfortable shoes, as there is a lot of walking to be done

Great experience

This is a lovely zoo with lots of different animals to see. Most of the exhibits are done in a way that you do get to see the animal as there are different vantage points to look from. My only complaint is that there wasn't any transport through the zoo like golf carts etc. (like Australia zoo) that would help people get around more and easier. Even having something that went up and down the centre and dropped you at each of the trails would have been a big help for anyone like me who struggles with walking. There was a lot of seating areas and toilets and places to buy things to eat, so that was a plus.
