Start your day at Melbourne Zoo with early access, behind the scenes animal encounters, morning tea and lunch - each tour is uniquely unforgettable!
Embark on your Melbourne Zoo adventure before the gates open and the day begins. With exclusive early morning access and a half day guided experience, you'll discover the zoo in a whole new light. Watch as the animals stir and the keepers prepare for the day ahead, while your expert guide takes you behind the scenes to reveal stories, insights and moments not shared in regular tours. It's an intimate and inspiring way to see the zoo come to life.
No two experiences are ever the same. Every encounter is shaped by the animals themselves, making each visit genuinely unique. Pause to enjoy morning tea or lunch, then continue your adventure exploring the zoo at your own pace. With a pre visit chat to tailor your experience, you'll feel confident knowing every detail has been thoughtfully arranged. This is a premium, memorable way to connect with wildlife, conservation and each other - up close, authentic and unforgettable.
Minimum of two and a maximum of four participants.
Enclosed shoes and weather appropriate clothing are required.
This experience is located at Melbourne Zoo, Elliott Ave, Parkville VIC 3052.
RedBalloon is your one-stop shop for experiences and curated gifts. We’re so confident you’ll love what you get from us, we’re offering this promise to you…
We want you to have the most enriching experience possible, so if this means swapping your jet boat experience for wine tasting then we’ve got you covered. Simply exchange online or contact our Customer Experience Team and we’ll do the work for you.
Not only do we handpick the best experiences for you, we also guarantee you’ll pay the same as you would buying direct from the experience provider. If you find the same experience advertised at a lower standard price on the same day by the same provider, simply take a screenshot of the experience advertised at the lower price and tell us within 30 days of your purchase and we’ll match it.
We understand life gets busy, which is why all vouchers and gift cards purchased have a 5-year expiry. The only exception to our expiry terms is if the experience has already been booked in. We honour the purchase price of our experiences for 18 months. If you book your experience after this time and the price of the experience increases you can either pay the difference or exchange it for another experience free of charge.
We know the trust consumers place in ratings and reviews is tied directly to authenticity. That’s why we use Bazaarvoice. We believe that reviews should represent the genuine, unbiased, and transparent opinion about the author’s experience with a product or service. Reviews are not altered in any way by anyone other than the original author — including corrections for spelling or grammar. Reviews are not filtered, edited, or deleted simply because they are negative or are lower-rated.
