Zoo in Victoria

“Amazing place to visit very educational and what an aircraft! Hopefully the government will soon help with this project. Only $5 entry and they desperately need help with funds to finish the project. Only one left in the southern hemisphere!”

“We went to one of the Open Days on a school holiday weekend. This was a great experience! My kids loved it. The person running it (a young guy called Ben) was amazing with the kids. Definitely recommend.”

“Woow, Such an awesome cafe’ Highly recommended”

“So cool!!!! snakes were so friendly and had a great time !!”

“Where else you can get so close to Kangaroo's in Australia, right here..... It was simply unbelievable experience for us. Must visit place when in Melbourne.”

“Awesome experience, good fun for every age. Visit o Sunday It was a long queue on tickets station. The train ride price $4 each , I think it's quite reasonable for families, also There is childrens playing area with BBQ.”

“Fantastic park. Two separate areas - Nature Play and Adventure Playground. Perfectly suited for my four year old grandson as well as older children. Nature play has water to play with as well as a sit on digger to dig the sand. The Adventure Playground has lots of attractions. Soft service if you fall and even phone chargers at the bench.”

“Purchased amazing timber (recycled too) & even though it was NYE day, they were opened & only to happy to help! They had exactly what l wanted in stock (Bunnings was going to be end of January, given holiday period & actually more expensive). Staff helped load the timber, nothing was too much trouble. Totally recommend. Would try here first, before any timber purchases, in the future. Value for money, awesome quality & style.... tick, tick, tick. Thank you Timberzoo!! :-)”

“Awesone”

“This was such an amazing find and a highlight from our trip to yarra. We got to pet kangaroos, besides going on the incredible nocturnal tour at the mount Evelyn zoo. For those who are still deciding, don’t think - just book if this place is still available. The owners of the b&b run the attached zoo - so you get to stay at a zoo! How fun! Very comfortable and very clean! We had a jacuzzi in our room which was pretty incredible! Strongly recommend this place!”

“My 9 year old has just been to the junior zoo keeper for a day experience at Wild Action Zoo (for the second time), and she already wants to go again! This is such a unique experience for kids who want to work with animals in the future. The hands on learning the kids get over the course of 6 hours is amazing. Chris and the team are so welcoming and enthusiastic. Well worth it!!”

“Absolutely stunning display of roses massed in beds and trailing across arbours in every hue imaginable. Well worth a visit. Congratulations and thank you to the dedicated team of volunteers who care for the roses, and the Parks staff who do the mowing!”

“Stunning grounds are accessible for free, small charge to enter the beautiful mansion, which we thought was well worth paying. Clean toilets accessible from outside the building. We had a light meal at The Refectory and I had the best scones I've had in many years. Excellent service, too. Planning to come back next time we're in Melbourne, for sure.”

“Great experience. Very helpful staff. David and Jasmine were very helpful and gave us lots of flyers and goodies. We can’t wait to explore the area.”

“Nice little air museum. Not fully open but still well worth the visit. They do not allow Ubers on base so you need to walk 700 meters to and from the museum.”

“Great place that looks after retired race horses. Very friendly & knowledgeable staff. Good to see Efficient, Brew, Apache Cat, Gailo Chop, Maluckyday, Makykbe Diva, Almandin, Prince of Penzance, Fields of Omagh in one place.”

“From the first steps into this splendid garden, I thought that I was lost in a fairy world. The flowers were surprisingly beautiful in the spring sun and wind that year. The scent wafted out into the handkerchief I brought with me that day. Until now, even though I've left Victoria, I still remember the roses fluttering in the sun and the butterflies surrounding the colorful flowers of years ago. Those are beautiful moments that will never be forgotten.”

“We went to Morang Wetlands to see the Kangaroo mobs. We arrived on Friday, March 13 after 6:00 pm. Animals tend to eat at dusk. The signs for the park indicate that the park closes at 7:00 pm, so we had to make it quick. It was rainy and chilly, but we got out to try our luck. About 5 minutes into our stroll we came across about a group of 12 kangaroos and then a group of a few more. When reached a large field we found it full of kangaroos, maybe 40 or 50. We stayed back and watched them. Two kangaroos persistently boxed each other. Had we had more time and more enjoyable temperatures I would have loved to spend several hours exploring the wetlands further.”

“Great views of the city. Wonderful place to relax on a nice day. Dog friendly.”

“By far one of my favourite parks in Melbourne. And my dog loves it too. Plenty of grounds and bike tracks. You can have picnic and play some games there. Go for a morning run and evening stroll. Love it. Highly recommend this place. Dog park peak time around 5-5:30pm weekdays..”

“Such a vibe here! Walking in spring when leaves are just popped out, birds chirping, surrounded by beautiful plants getting your morning exercise. Such a wonder park with great scenery. There are also public bathrooms and barbecue to enjoy your evening with a multiple playgrounds for your kids to enjoy. Ruffed also has some great cycling tracks for level to enjoy! Hope this helps :)”

“Great place for big and little kids (mine are as old as 3 and as young as 6months) many much older kids there too and things for all to do. Whether you watch a magpie concert, rocket around their multiple flying foxes or play all day in the huge sandcastle there's never a dull moment. Sometimes busy but never crazy. Lots of room in the surrounding grounds of lush grass for everyone.”

“Great playground. Kids love the giant web.”

“Great place for an easy walk. Lots af bird life, plenty of kangaroos to see. Backs on to lysterfield, so if you're keen, you can walk all the way to the lake.”

“Kathleen was easy to communicate with from the first point of contact. The entire process was so smooth. Had the animals come for my sons 1st birthday back in July 2021 (late review but better then never) although the girl was running late she stayed almost an hour booked time to make it up and was so professional and engaging with kids. The set up was great even though we had a small narrow space she just made it work. Kids still talk about the petty zoo to this day and have recommended to so many parents. Great value for money.”

“What a surprise, lots more to see than I expected, lots of history on the local mining, great for a day out, take a picnic, or eat in at cafe, open 10 to 4pm, to see it all you would probably need that time, very interesting, will return to do the actual mine.....”

“A fantastic place to get out and walk, hike or mountain bike. We parked at the office car park and did the Big Rock walk. We then continued on and did the Flinders Peak walk, which was quite challenging as lots and lots of steps up a steep incline. Well worth the effortt hough for the great views.”

“Beautiful place... Do take your swimmers as the water is very inviting....”

“We’ve just moved to the area and wow. The botanical gardens here are magical. So many beautiful flowers, lush green grass, beautiful walking tracks and immaculate gardens. Compared to the Melbourne Botanical Gardens, Geelong is in another world of beauty. Our children also had a wonderful time, so much to see and do, just perfection.”

“Loved this museum. Lots of history. Run by local volunteers. Will definitely return on next visit. Great displays that are well maintained.”
