Australia's oldest zoo sits in parkland barely ten minutes from the city centre, mixing native species with gorillas, tigers and elephants.
A one-day entry ticket gives you the run of the grounds, from the walk-through Australian bush aviary and butterfly house to the keeper talks.
Local tip: Tram 58 from William Street stops at the gate, or take the Upfield line from Flinders Street to Royal Park Station.
