Seeing the white rhino in its majesty for the first time, the beautiful oryx & the life size dinosaur mimics..
Great zoo. Mostly enjoyed the bus ride through the open range. Seeing the animals up close and personal in a simulated natural environment was awesome. The narrator was very knowledgeable and invested.
The first thing I have to say is don’t go to these place during a dust storm or before rain. The dust on the safari trail bus has no cover from dust nor seat belts for kids. Also it was hard to hear the driver. The zoo was not great with the feel of a conservation for climate change zoo. Lots of QR codes and drinking glasses for compost. But need more interaction stuff for people who don’t u QR codes. Also the buses have no way for a person with a cane or wheelchair too get on it.
My wife and I visited this Zoo recently, during a holiday where we stayed at a holiday apartment in Point Cook. This was our second visit. During our previous visit last year, we had paid extra for the Deluxe Safari Tour. This time around, we decided to try the normal Safari Tour which is included in the General Admission Ticket. We were lucky to see the three lion cubs at feeding time and watched them eat a chunk of raw meat. We were also lucky to see the three Gorillas at feeding time and watched them eat celery. We will return next year to see the new and very large Elephant Closure that is currently under construction.
The whole experience , the staff were engaging and informative and helpful .. the safari trip was exactly what I wanted ..no cages .. take your kids on the bus , it was a wonderful interactive experience , and gorillas never dissapoint
