Lovely experience! Some animals like koala, kangaroos, giraffes were not caged and you can look at them and even come closer ✨ However , many animals were hiding or taking a nap far from where people can see them. the zoo is quite hilly so I recommend going to the main entrance on top of the zoo when you arrive so your exploration feels easier.

Puffing billy was an interesting experience in Melbourne! The first curve with nice view of the bridge was the best part but it gets quite repetitive after that.Good for a one-time visit, but lower your expectations for excitement.

The zoo houses many different kinds of animals, especially Australia's famous koalas and kangaroos. Entry is via a QR code on your receipt, allowing unlimited entry throughout the day. Inside, you can touch and feed the kangaroos; there are many kangaroos of different sizes to choose from. When taking photos with a koala, staff will ask you to take photos and videos of your friends at a designated spot; you can collect the complimentary photo after you've finished exploring the entire zoo. A small train is available for transportation, but it runs infrequently, only once every 30 minutes to an hour. However, it only takes about an hour to walk the entire zoo. Visiting close to Christmas, the area, including around the animals, was decorated with Christmas decorations, creating a festive atmosphere. The zoo is located on the Gold Coast, and after your visit, you can easily visit the Gold Coast beach or nearby outlets; transportation is very convenient.

If you’re an adrenaline junkie like me, Warner Bros. Movie World is a dream! The Scooby-Doo Spooky Coaster stole my heart—dark, thrilling, and packed with surprises that had me laughing and screaming all at once. The whole park blends movie magic with epic rides, making it the perfect spot for thrill-seekers and film fans alike. Arrive early, wear comfy shoes, and ride Scooby twice—it’s that good!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ SEA LIFE Sydney AquariumWe had a wonderful time at SEA LIFE Sydney! The aquarium was beautifully designed, and we enjoyed seeing the wide variety of marine life up close — especially the sharks, penguins, and the amazing ocean tunnel. The layout made it easy to explore, and everything was well-maintained and informative. It’s a great experience for both adults and kids. Highly recommended for anyone visiting Sydney!⸻⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ WILD LIFE Sydney ZooWILD LIFE Sydney was such a fun and memorable experience! We got to see Australia’s iconic animals like koalas, kangaroos, and wombats up close. The staff were friendly and knowledgeable, and the exhibits were clean and well-organized. It’s the perfect place to learn more about Australian wildlife without leaving the city. Definitely worth a visit!

This was a last minute decision but it was a great one! Really well curated, very informative and with staff that obviously love their jobs! An excellent 3 hours spent admiring nature and understanding how they are contributing to repopulating species! Well worth the trip!

We had such a fun day at the Wildlife Zoo with the family! 🦘🐦 There were many amazing Australian birds and animals to see, and the whole place was super easy to walk around thanks to the shady trees. We took our time wandering, petting, and even feeding some of the animals, which was a highlight. The bathrooms were clean, check-in with our Trip.com voucher was quick and simple, and before heading home we grabbed some lunch, snacks, and a few souvenirs from the gift shop. Overall, a really enjoyable visit!
