Inspired by the African Serengeti but located just outside Melbourne, the 556-acre (225-hectare) Werribee Open Range Zoo provides an African-style safari adventure without leaving Australia. Werribee Open Range Zoo is home to hundreds of rare and exotic animals as well as Australian native critters, all of them living in spacious natural enclosures. Admission includes a 40-minute bus safari that brings you close to grassland animals that roam through open fields. Check out daily zoo keeper talks and set your own pace for this family-friendly activity.

Best zoo trip ever! Really friendly and helpful staff. Amazing animals and environment. It was a cross between a safari and a zoo. The open range experience was fabulous and the tram went out of their way to ensure my mum in her wheelchair could partipate and have a great view. Animals were obviously very well cared for and lots of them in amazing environments. Staff were extremely knowledgeable and helpful and spent time talking with us. An amazing day and would highly recommend!

Watching our grandchildren enjoy the day - Safari Bus tour was a great highlight, while our 3 year old granddaughter loved the Rhinos and Giraffes, our 8 month old granddaughter giggled when the bus went over a few bumps!

The animals! My kids especially my son really enjoyed the safari wildlife. Didn’t get to pet the Kangaroos but maybe next time will opt for other services there!
