Zoos Victoria manages three great zoos: Melbourne Zoo, Healesville Sanctuary, and Werribee Open Range Zoo. Each zoo has its own focus, but all three work towards the goal of building enduring relationships between people and wildlife for a future in which people live in balance with the natural world.
Werribee Open Range Zoo started as a simple safari bus experience 24 years ago. Since then it has been constantly expanding with new walking trails, new African species and, most recently, the opening of multi-award-winning experiences, Kubu River Hippos and Lions on the Edge.
More than 2.5 million people have visited Werribee Open Range Zoo during its 24 years of operation.
