Things to do in Melbourne Zoo

We visited Melbourne Zoo on a weekday am and found it to be a relaxing way to spend the day. We took the bus from Melbourne CBD, although the walk from the bus stop to the zoo entrance was a little longer than expected. Entry was quick and seamless, with easy QR code scanning at the gate. What pleasantly surprised us was that Melbourne Zoo is not just about the animals. The grounds are beautifully landscaped with an impressive collection of ferns, mature trees, and diverse flora throughout the park. Walking along the shaded pathways often felt like exploring a botanical garden, making it enjoyable even between animal exhibits. Unfortunately, many of the animals were hidden from view or sleeping during our visit, which was a little disappointing. However, this did not take away from the overall experience. The peaceful atmosphere, lush greenery, and well-maintained walking trails made it a lovely place to spend a leisurely day outdoors.

easy to redeem, entry was hassle free using the qr code. Zoo is not that big but the safari bus was a nice experience it was foggy early morning but eventually sun came out mid day.

was all worth it. got the two attraction pass and availed Sovereign Hill and Melbourne Zoo. You can definitely save more than buyign invidual tickets.

Visited SEA LIFE Melbourne Aquarium on a weekday am and found the entry process smooth and hassle-free. Admission was quick by simply scanning the QR code from the Klook app, allowing us to enter without any waiting. The aquarium itself is relatively small and has a more traditional, old-fashioned city aquarium feel compared to some of the newer attractions in Asia. There is a decent variety of marine life on display, making it an enjoyable visit for families w young children and casual visitors. School groups started arriving later in the am, so it was quieter and more pleasant to explore earlier in the day. Unfortunately, the penguin section was closed for renovation during our visit, which was a disappointment as it is usually one of the main highlights of the aquarium. Despite this, there was still enough to see and do, and we spent around two hours exploring the exhibits at a comfortable pace.

fun and worth to visit! we enjoyed the interaction with kangaroos, alpaca, and koalas.

We really had so much fun during wine and chocolate tasting. It was definitely a memorable experience because tasted the different kinds of red, white and rosè wines. The chocolates were also good and it will make you feel full! The ice cream is a must try! Thank you to our tour guide (sorry forgot the name 😅).

guide jensen was super kind and helpful. helped us spot wild koala and kangaroos. despite some other tourists on the bus consistently returning late to the bus, and even pressuring him, he remained very patient and kind.

the tour was amazing, our driver Peter was great, hillarious, and also has a lot of info about the tour. wine tasting was a blast, scenery was beautiful. and the information about the tour, meeting point, bus, etc was very detailed.
