About Werribee Open Range Zoo

Take the whole family on an unforgettable African-inspired adventure at Werribee Open Range Zoo with this ticket bundle for 2 adults and 1 child. Drive through vast open savannahs to see giraffes, zebras, and lions roaming freely, then explore walk-through habitats and enjoy interactive feeding experiences — all just a short drive from Melbourne.

Local Legends & Stories

Werribee Open Range Zoo traces its roots back to the late 1800s when Melbourne's first zoo was established in Flinders Park before relocating to Werribee in the 1980s. The zoo sits on the traditional lands of the Wurundjeri Woi-wurung people of the Kulin Nation, and indigenous cultural interpretations are woven into the Australian bush exhibits.

Perfect Timing

When to visit for the best experience

Visit early in the morning when animals are most active and temperatures are cool, especially during the Australian summer. Spring (September to November) and autumn (March to May) offer the most pleasant weather and fewer crowds. Weekdays are significantly quieter than weekends and school holidays.

Photography Guide

Capture the perfect shots

The drive-through safari at golden hour — shortly after opening or before closing — provides soft, warm light perfect for capturing animals against the savannah backdrop
The giraffe feeding platform offers unique eye-level shots; use a zoom lens to get close without disturbing the animals
The African Walk bridge provides a stunning elevated vantage point for wide-angle shots of herds roaming freely

Cultural Etiquette

Respect local customs and traditions

Australia places a strong emphasis on wildlife conservation, so respect all signage and stay behind barriers — this is both a safety rule and a cultural value at the zoo Tipping is not expected or customary in Australian zoos or service venues Photography for personal use is welcome, but commercial shoots require prior approval from zoo management

Special Events & Experiences

Enhanced experiences and seasonal highlights

Evening Zoo — a seasonal after-hours experience with extended animal encounters, live entertainment, and dining options (typically running on select weekends from late spring through summer)
Zoo Chews — a monthly behind-the-scenes experience offering exclusive animal feedings and keeper interactions (booking required)
School holiday programs and interactive workshops featuring animal encounters and conservation activities throughout the year

Important Guidelines & Safety

Essential safety information and guidelines

Remain inside your vehicle at all times during the drive-through safari — animals roam freely and can be unpredictable
Apply insect repellent before your visit, especially in warmer months, as the open-range setting exposes you to mosquitoes and bush flies
Supervise children closely in all walk-through areas and keep them within arm's reach near enclosure barriers

Visitor Information

Entry Fee

This bundle includes 2 general admission adult tickets and 1 general admission child ticket (ages 3-15), offering better value than purchasing individually.

Visit Duration

Plan for a full day — approximately 4 to 6 hours — to experience both the drive-through safari and all walk-through habitats at a relaxed pace. If you're short on time, prioritise the African Open Range drive-through and the giraffe feeding experience as the must-see highlights.

Accessibility

About Werribee Open Range Zoo

Visitors should allocate at least half a day to explore the facility, as the included safari bus tour takes about 40 minutes and departs regularly from the main visitor center. Sun protection, hydration, and comfortable walking shoes are necessary due to the exposed nature of the savanna habitats and the network of walking trails.

The Werribee Open Range Zoo, which is located about 20 miles southwest of Melbourne, attempts to recreate a safari experience for visitors.
