Zoos in general, including this one are great; this one is not too large or too small. 4 hours is enough time to visit. Two entrances; main gate and rail (train) gate. Very clean, food venues and toilet locations are spread out well throughout the park. There are 4-5 gift shops, walk through each as each shop seems to sell different merchandise. Two surprises which may be considered negatives; the Seal exhibition is very popular with the kids therefore strollers block the walking path leading to the vicinity of the exterior theater and towards the exhibit exit. The gift shop only offers one t-shirt design "Melbourne Zoo" for sale, a "Vet" scrub for a child and a "Zoo Keeper" field shirt for a child, that's it. Most zoos offer different t-shirts, blouses, sweat shirts and polo shirts for sale, not here. Instead - tons of stuffed animals!! I didn't want to give too much of the zoo experience away through my photographs so you can discover it on your own. . . . Enjoy!
