Wake to the views of the open plains and the sounds of our animals and indulge in a freshly cooked hot breakfast before the animal adventures continue. We check out around 10am and have all day to enjoy the zoo. Keeper talks are through out the day and include elephants, lions, cheetahs, gorilla, zebras and hippos.
Zoos Victoria's herd of nine Asian Elephants recently made its historic journey from Melbourne Zoo to its new 21-hectare habitat in wonderful Werribee. We will discover the elephants in their new world-class, open-range home.
