Things to do in Werribee Open Range Zoo

Clean. A pleasant experience. Animals kept well. Would have been nicer if staff could guide us on how to go about the zoo. We missed the elephants.

redemption was very easy and fast! zoo was huge! highlight was definitely the safari bus and maybe it's winter season, didn't see many animals but overall kids enjoyed the ride!

Our tour guide, Cloudy, introduced us to the area and its history along the way. Although the drive was long, it was well worth it. Every detail of Sovereign Hill was fascinating, like stepping into a game world. I wish we could have spent more time there.

There's a wide variety of animals, most of them active outdoors or sleeping and eating. Riding in the open-air, windowless sightseeing vehicle is a very immersive experience, making you feel closer to the animals. Watching them quietly is like seeing long-lost friends; 'How have you been?' Some areas even have binoculars to help you spot animals, which is quite fun and definitely worth seeing.

It’s easy to take a free train to the zoo during this month. The weather was good and a bit sunny. The safari is nice and clean.

Waited an hour for the bus, but still had a blast!

I participated in the optional mine tour, which took 45 minutes. On February 24, 2026, the ticket cost 12.5 AUD. I thought the experience was quite good. The Candy Store also had live candy-making demonstrations, and at the end, samples were given to the audience. The freshly made candy was especially delicious! I recommend everyone go check it out. It rained the day I went, which caused a slight delay, so I didn't have enough time to pan for gold, which was a bit of a shame.

Although lockers aren't available, the shop can free you from your suitcases, allowing visitors to comfortably enjoy the park. The animals on site are very lively, and the guides are also energetic, making it worth a visit.
