🌿🦒 We’re headed on Safari! 🦓🌿
Join us for an inclusive, sensory friendly and Auslan interpreted adventure at the Werribee Open Range Zoo!

This is a chance to connect with community, explore the wild, and enjoy a fun day out where everyone is welcome.

🌍✨ What’s waiting for you at Werribee Zoo? ✨🌍
Get ready for an adventure like no other! The Werribee Open Range Zoo is a special place where animals roam across wide open savannahs – just like in Africa. Instead of just looking through glass, you’ll get to see the animals up close in their natural-style habitats.

🚌 Hop on the Safari Bus Tour!
Climb aboard the big safari bus for a ride through the open plains.
Spot giraffes stretching their long necks, cheeky zebras, and mighty rhinos.
Feel like you’re really on an African adventure without leaving Victoria!
🐘 Animals you might meet on the day:
Lions, hippos, gorillas, and cheetahs
Meerkats on patrol and monkeys swinging around
Giraffes, zebras, antelopes and more on the safari tour
🎉 What we’ll do together:
Explore the zoo trails at a relaxed pace
Share laughs, stories, and photo moments
Enjoy lunch together (BYO or buy at the café)
