Review:
The Melbourne Zoo is located on Elliott Avenue north of downtown Melbourne. It is home to over 320 different animal species from Australia and from other places around the world. Modeled after the London Zoo, the Melbourne zoo is the oldest zoo in Australia: it opened in 1862.
Some of the exhibits include the Asian Rainforest with rare Sumatran tigers, the Australian Outback with emus, kangaroos, and koalas, and Trails of the Elephants with five Asian elephants, among others. The zoo offers many education programs for children, teachers, and youth, including the Career Program, which allows students to spend a day as a vet or animal keeper. The zoo is open every day.
Elliott Avenue, Parkville VIC 3052, +61-3-9285-9300
