A great halfday walk, most of the animal enclosures are very close up. You can almost touch some of the animals (please do not do it)

The park is very large, the map route is clearly marked, the rest area is large, and there is a play area for children to play. The animals are very close to us, and the giraffe is so big that it is amazing. It is worth visiting again!

Melbourne's zoos/Moonlight Wildlife Sanctuaries each have their own characteristics. Melbourne Zoo is more diverse, and the package includes the option of getting up close and personal with koalas. It’s just that you can’t actually touch a koala in Melbourne (not allowed by law), so those who want to touch a koala may need to find out which states are legal before going.

Buying tickets at Klook is cheaper than getting to the site, it took two hours and there wasn't much to eat inside the zoo after walking around

You can quickly exchange the admission ticket, which is very convenient. Children are free on holidays. The park is divided into many small areas and the stay is about 3 hours.
