Animal Sanctuaries

Werribee Open Range Zoo

Miek October 10, 2026

An enjoyable few hours exploring Werribee Open Range Zoo, with plenty of animals to see in their spacious, open habitats.

The gorilla was probably the most memorable part of our visit, deliberately charging towards the fence to give me a fright! Although I think the smell was almost as shocking!

It was also interesting to learn about the zoo’s conservation efforts, breeding programs and work to protect endangered species. A fun and educational experience.
