    A new perspective as a regular zoo visitor
    As a regular visitor to the Zoo it was terrific to undertake the Wild Tales Walking Experience with Maurice as our guide for a different experience. We had a beautiful morning walk through the zoo and the animals were up and about. We particularly enjoyed seeing the pigmy hippo and the otters. Our tour included a breakfast and coffee which was a nice way to finish and we enjoyed it in front of the giraffe and zebra enclosure where the animals were active. It's good to get a different perspective and Maurice was very knowledgeable. We loved this tour and learnt new things. This would be suitable for families.

    Roar & Snore Melb Zoo
    Roar and snore tour Melb zoo was a great experience and the two guides were fantastic but the tour itself felt very rushed. Arrived Saturday night 6.30pm in the dark would of been better arriving in daylight. Set up of the camp was very good and comfy beds, food just a pass but the tour of the zoo was excellent. Seen behind the scenes and had a good amount of time with different animals and the guides were very informative and interesting. Worth doing
