Every trip to Melbourne Zoo is different. Despite being Australia’s oldest zoo, this vibrant animal world is constantly evolving with new exhibits, events, and of course, creatures great and small.
A trip to Melbourne Zoo done right takes a day. The largest exhibit is the majestic Wild Sea, where penguins and seals bask on land before slipping into clear waters and showcasing their elegant aquatic skills. Another highlight is the sprawling Orang-utan Sanctuary, where a family of beautiful, intelligent orang-utans swing from tree to tree, play with each other and feed high off the ground. Then there’s the Trail of the Elephants; an immersive Asian village and garden where five Asian elephants thrive.

An old ‘talkies' theatre, and then a Christian Revivalist hall, the Forum exudes history and class. The sky-blue roof stretches above the large auditorium, while large Roman-style statues and gargoyles adorn the alcoves and flank the wide concert stage. The entire venue can be seated, as it is for the Melbourne Film and Comedy Festivals, and the seats can be removed for capacity crowds.
