My sister and I went last night we had Ariel and Cate as our guides they were amazing and made the whole experience so memorable.
We had a night walk where we saw the lions up and about, then this morning went into the elephant enclosure and hid food for them such a fantastic experience all round.
Lovely food and great atmosphere in camp .
Thank you both for making it a night we will never ever forget.

The tour starts at 8am (30mins prior you need to arrive) and the tickets stated the Rail gate entrance. 8 of us waited till 8:20am until Chris turned up (there are no phone numbers to call). The tickets apparently had the wrong gate specified. Chris made the tour work and is very enthusiastic in his job - excellent little bits of Info given. Chris organised for free coffees for the above muck up.
Angie in the Kangaroo section was fantastic with the group too with some very interesting info given of the Kangaroos. No touching of the kangaroos allowed but the kangaroos can choose to interact.
I would highly recommend this wildlife tour.

Been to the Melbourne zoo several times over my life time, and over that period there has been lots of improvements for both the viewing public and the most importantly the animals. My advice take a picnic lunch, catch the tram as there is a stop right outside the rear entrance. You will not have enough time to see everything so plan your day and enjoy. Also visit the Healsville sanctuary if you have time take a picnic lunch but you may need to take in tour or drive your self.

Our family only had 3 days in Melbourne. Not enough time to get out to see kangaroos or koalas in the wild. The early morning Wildlife Tour at the Melbourne Zoo was just the experience we were hoping for.
So much gratitude for our guide, Jenny. She was welcoming, fun and had so much great information about all the animals we got to see and experience.
The kangaroos, of course, were the highlight. We had far more contact and experience with them than I was expecting.
Jenny was the perfect person to show us around. It felt like our beloved Aunt Jenny snuck us into the zoo before opening hours and shared with us the job and place she loves. 'roos, emus, platypus, wild dogs, Taz devils, incredible birds. These are just some of the amazing creatures we got to experience. I also appreciated that the experience didn't feel rushed. We got just what we were hoping for and more. Much gratitude to Jenny, the zoo and all the wonderful animals.
*One tip: Much like an earlier reviewer, we had trouble finding where we were supposed to meet up. "Back Gate" of the zoo doesn't mean anything to an Uber driver and there doesn't appear to be any signage for "Back Gate." Once Jenny reached out and told us to go to the Royal Gate train station, then we could find our way. So future visitors--head to Royal Gate train station. You'll be just meters away.

Book it now! We signed up for the Roar and Snore experience. What a great opportunity to see the zoo a whole new way. Was great for the whole family including our five year old. The experience, knowledge, food, etc was fantastic. Highly recommend it. I was 7.5 months pregnant at the time and the staff were so considerate and thoughtful offering up many options to make sure I was comfortable. Don’t miss out on this great experience.

Le zoo est assez grand ce qui permet de bien occuper la journée par un bonne marche, les animaux y sont bien visible j'ai adoré l'enclos des girafes et des zèbres, malheureusement je n'ai pas pu y apercevoir les lions car leur zone était en rénovation. Par contre si vous voulez y passer la journée prévoyez un chapeau ou une casquette !!
