Cheaper to get than getting on site plus skip the queue. Great experience looking at the wild life. My daughter love it.
Shiao Cheng · 25/06/2021
Booking with Klook is such hassle free, cheap and safe. We enjoyed our zoo trip there so much. Checking in is fast with the Barcode everything stated, so convenient. Always my no.1 app to book activities or outings with.
SIQI CANDY · 01/06/2021
In my opinion i think it could have more attractions, different species and quantity of animals.
Yzak · 26/05/2021
My group from Mambourin Enterprises went n saw Gorillas, Monkeys, Lions, Koalas, Hippos, Cheetahs n Meerkats. Then we went on the Safari Tour ride n saw Mongolian wild Horses, Camels, Emus, Antelope, Giraffes, Rhinos n Zebras.
Samuel · 23/05/2021
Easy to walk around the exhibits where animals appear to be well cared for. Great to be driven through the open range section
Alison · 21/05/2021
Easy to redeem the tickets, recommend the Deluxe Safari to get up close to the animals
Cynthia · 08/05/2021
Had a great time at the zoo. Was good to see the animals being treated well here. Though it was crowded, they knew how to handle it, and there wasn't much of a wait for anything but food.
ALENA · 04/05/2021
The zoo is a really fun place, especially for families with children. It was nice to see animals up close with large spaces to roam around, albeit the number of animals are not much. The safari bus was the highlight and really worth it to try out. seeing the animals up close was very cool!
Denisa Choo Siem · 24/04/2021
great experience for the kiddo! nicely done zoo that mimicked the safari experience! the tram great was fun and offers visitors an up close experience with the animals! park was well maintained and lucky weather was perfect!
puay shan · 24/03/2021
It is recommended to drive in if you are planning to visit the zoo. It took me about 2 hrs to travel from Melbourne to the zoo by train and bus and walking in to the zoo. The main highlight will be the safari bus tour.
Shu Hui Anna · 07/03/2021
You get to encounter the animals closely while in the tour bus. Really fun also to see animals native to Australia and see them not so constrained. The Kangaroos were really just hopping around a free range area. :)
CESAR NICKOLAI JR · 02/03/2021
The ticket was cheaper than original price. Love the place. It was so fun. It was out of the way. Far in from the town but worth it. We took a bus from the nearest bus station and it was a 30min bus ride.
ILLI AMANINA · 12/02/2021
A fun outing for families especially those with young children. It was relaxing to go on the tram and there were food stalls for quick bites.
Chane · 07/02/2021
The safari bus ride was great! Great place to bring kids
anna · 11/01/2021
Amazing zoo with lots of animals. The baby zebra is super cute. We enjoy the zoo very much.
Ka yi · 07/01/2021
Great experience in the different animal zones. Kids friendly and educational. Love the safari ride!
Wing Sheung · 06/01/2021
Very interesting experience as we got see all the animals upfront closely, definitely an eye opener!
PEI LIN · 04/10/2020
Fuss Free in redeeming the tickets. The highlight of this trip is the safari bus where you see animal in the wild. Suggest to go Q for the safari bus first which will take about 40-45 min ride.
XiaoFen · 31/07/2020
Fuss free redemption via klook app to Werribee Open Range zoo. Cheaper than buying on site & faster as well as there were long queues due to school holidays. Great place to get up close with the animals on the highly recommended open bus ride! Too bad we can't carry koalas in Victoria state. Miss that part of interaction with the cute fluffy creatures. Highly recommended place to chill out for animal lovers. There is a cafe that serves good food too, where we get to watch Meerkats running outside while we enjoy the food and cuppa.
Choon Hwa · 04/07/2020
It’s a great zoo! We took the bus times and see those wild life. Must go!
Mau Ying · 09/04/2020
fuss free transaction! used on the same day and got it for a few dollars cheaper! definitely get it on klook!
Nabilah · 18/03/2020
Easy to get to from CBD, just a 40 min train to Werribee station and bus 439 to the zoo’s doorstep. Only downside is the frequency of the bus is every hour. The are quite little animal exhibits, so that’s disappointing. There seems to be more props and decorations than animals. The only saving grace is the safari bus tour.
Sabina · 17/03/2020
What a wonderful experience. Loved everything about it! So well organised. Great to get up close to rhinos, giraffes, ostriches, bison & varieties of deer.
Food was great & music & performances brilliant. Highly recommended ?
Faizul · 16/03/2020
Nice small little sanctuary, can improve with more variety of animals
Cheng Hock · 05/03/2020
Thoroughly enjoyed this experience! The mini bus tour was the probably the most exciting highlight of this trip. Highly recommended :)
Desiree · 03/03/2020
Price offered by Klook is cheaper as compared if we purchased from counter. And we do not have to Q to redeem the vouchers.
The safari bus experience is amazing..however, it could be better if we can see more animal during the trip.
Shahirah · 29/02/2020
Klook is easy to use. Just purchase and approach the ticket counter , discount is offered.
Nice safari. Kids will love the place . The Safari ride takes around 35min. Kids playground is a great place to hang around too . We spent 3 hours to complete the park. Free parking as well.
Sin Wan · 25/02/2020
Such a lovely day out. We went as two couples and it was a great double date. The safari was definitely the highlight and would recommend getting in early before the crowds.
Jessica · 24/02/2020
The best in this zoo is safari tour! You can take a bus to see around the zoo! Like the video in Africa
MATT · 21/02/2020
Definitely worth the time to go and explore. Learn about conservation and animals and how we should do better as humans. Thank you for the insightful afternoon. May need brollies or raincoats if it rains!
Joanne Siew Fui · 16/02/2020
Had an excellent time at the Werribee Zoo! Full of animals that will interest people of all ages! The highlight was the Safari Tour Bus where we saw many unique animals like giraffes and zebras.
Alysha · 29/01/2020
The zoo is massive and including different kinda of animals. It is a nice chance to get in touch with the animals closely.
Yi Tung · 21/01/2020
Nice place for kids and family fun ,awesome experience of safari as we were able to look close view of all special animals specially gjraff.Great view from inside out .thanks for taking special care of all animals cheers .
manoj · 19/01/2020
It was such an amazing experience, Ticket redemption was super fast. KLOOK IS THE BEST among all other apps. Than ki s klook for an wonderful experience and very much disappointed with the animals as we went in afternoon time all the animals were sleeping and taking rest :(
PRANAY KUAMR REDDY · 07/01/2020
Highlight was the safari ride, managed to see quite a few animals up close.
Rangers were friendly and knowledge. Learn some interesting facts about koala and eucalyptus trees at the keeper's talk.
Yi Hui Sheena · 05/01/2020
Fun day at the zoo. Go early in the morning if you are going in the summer as animals will be in the shade if it’s too hot in the afternoon. The safari bus ride was definitely worth the journey and experience.
Siau Yi Grace · 05/01/2020
Pretty impressive range of animals you could see from the Safari ride. It was too hot on the day that we visited that wed decided to leave after 2 hrs here
Rachael · 04/01/2020
Just redeem the ticket at the entrance, super easy
The day i visit is super hot and windy. Make sure you check the timetable if the bus if you take public transport
Carson · 31/12/2019
only managed to go on the safari ride once and the weather became unbearable. zoo closed soon after as well. #climatechange
WEI YING · 31/12/2019
A nice day out at this unique zoo, where you get to see many animals outside of enclosures. Booking through Klook is slightly cheaper too.
Teng Kiat · 27/12/2019
AMAZING ? Animals are mostly free and the staff is super friendly. We loved the gorillas they were super funny. Strongly recommend the experience, an open range zoo it's completely different than the usual zoos.
Camila · 26/12/2019
it is a big area with the animals free to move around. unfortunately, the day we were there was a hot day, animals were all hiding under the shade.
Kai Li · 26/12/2019
Easy to redeem tickets. Kids enjoyed it very much. Free parking available .
Bajina Bee · 23/12/2019
I always book. tickets through klook because it is easy and cheaper than on the official website.
Wing yin · 23/12/2019
Great and nice experience. Spent a wonderful time at the zoo and you can really experience close exposure with animals
Ai Ting Cynthia · 22/12/2019
Booking process and entry process was effortless. I travelled as a family of two adults and two kids. Note that kids are free on the weekend so it becomes more affordable. Highlight is the safari bus tour, which seems to let you go unlimited times (even though we only went once.) Not the most impressive safari because there were no predators (like lions) in the safari.. There is a toddler section at the Australian animals section, it featured a mock-up rescue helicopter to save animals. Children loved that. There is a playground inside the zoo. There are also cute animal statues at the front gate that are perfect for photos.
Kwee Tian Kenneth · 22/12/2019
Truly wonderful experience. Worth the price and worth travel all the way with kids!
The safari trail was amazing, we got to see the animals up close! Never been to a zoo that can bring us up close, SO close!
And like the lions, oh gosh, just a glass barrier away, not like miles away kept in the cage kind, we walk through a safari like zoo, not the typical zoo!
Jin Yin · 18/12/2019
The safari bus was awesome! The ranger was knowledgeable. The whole compound of the zoo actually reminds me of a real jungle setting. Its family and children friendly as well!
JOINA · 18/12/2019
good zoo. manny animal plus a ranger talk to children
