I've visited quite a lot of the zoo's here in Australia at this point and had heard some great things about Melbourne Zoo. It's a good size zoo which is very walkable, I chose to navigate it in a figure of 8 so I was able to see every part from one end to the other. The enclosures were fairly large and provided a lot of cover for the animals who for the most part chose to hide away (and I can't say I blame them, we'll come to that later...) but with some patience you could see them clearly once they moved. Some enclosures were empty, the snow leopard for instance won't be on show until April, there was a large enclosure that apparently had elephants in once upon a time but no more. A few others seemingly had nothing living in them, I actually heard another visitor exclaim "I paid $59 for THIS?" at one point. I really enjoyed the butterfly house, that was a great experience! The reptile house was also pretty cool as there were lots of species to see up close. The main draw for me was the orangutans and this is where I have to deduct a star, I should say through no fault of the zoo itself though. PARENTS - please, please, please teach your kids it's not okay to smash and bang on the windows at zoos. One of the orangutans was sitting eating on a perch which has a viewing window and there must have been at least 20 kids of various ages slamming against it to get a reaction from the orangutan. It's just gross behaviour, I'd already told a grown man about 10 minutes previous to that to stop pounding the window where the howler monkeys are.
