An ideal place to spend great time with the entire family while in Melbourne would be the Melbourne zoo which is not located too far from the city center. The Royal Melbourne Zoological Gardens is home to over 320 species of animals from around Australia and around the world.

Attracting large number of visitors annually the city has plenty of accommodation options to choose from. However an increasingly popular option among Melbourne’s visitors has been Melbourne Serviced Accommodation. A pioneer in this regard is Citadines on Bourke Melbourne, is located in one of the prime locations in the city and is suitable for both families and leisure travelers as well as those on business travel.

The key vision of the zoo is to become the world’s leading zoo – based conservation organization. The zoo is opened through out the year from 9 am till 5 pm. The animals that call the zoo home range from Asian wild elephants, Sumatran tigers and Orang – utans. The zoo has recreated a rain forest area where you can find the Gorillas or visit the Australian bush settings where one can find the kangaroos and koalas that are endemic to Australia.

There are also interactive exhibits where kids have the opportunity to learn about animals. We also create the opportunity for our visitors to learn about our animals as well as the fight of extinction and how the general public on how they could contribute to this. Some of the interesting exhibits for the kids are, Growing Wild, Keeper Kids, Butterfly House and Trail of the Elephants among many others!

If you plan to spend the entire day in here then surely there are some great places to eat within the premises. Lakeside Bistro, Zoo Bakery and Plaza take away are some of the options available.
