Enjoy an overnight stay at Melbourne Zoo with after dark access, hosted activities, dinner, supper and breakfast, plus behind the scenes keeper encounters.
Feast, snooze, and explore Melbourne Zoo after dark with this unforgettable Roar ’n’ Snore overnight camping experience for two, offering a rare chance to see the zoo come alive once the gates close to the public. Your adventure begins at 5.30pm, when you arrive at the zoo’s service entrance and are warmly welcomed by your camp hosts. After parking inside the zoo grounds, you’ll be escorted to your campsite set within the historic Elephant Exhibit, now thoughtfully transformed into a unique overnight stay for guests. Enjoy light refreshments on arrival, including a complimentary glass of sparkling wine or wine, as you settle in and take in the zoo's atmosphere at dusk.
As evening falls, the experience unfolds with a series of hosted walking tours, including a guided visit to Lion Gorge at dusk and a fascinating Night & Nocturnal walk, offering insight into animals that are most active after dark. Between adventures, you’ll return to the campsite to set up your private canvas tent before enjoying a classic Aussie BBQ dinner, followed later by a cosy late night supper. As the zoo quietens, prepare for a restful night surrounded by the sounds of wildlife. The next morning begins early with breakfast, followed by a guided Dawn Adventure walk, giving you a new perspective on the zoo as it wakes for the day. After checking out, you’re free to continue exploring Melbourne Zoo at your leisure, with full zoo admission included for the day. It’s a wonderfully memorable way to see the zoo from a completely different point of view, one that’s perfect for sharing and remembering long after the tents come down.
