Highlights
Elephant Trail Turns One – With Three Calves on the Way
It’s been one year since nine Asian elephants moved from Melbourne Zoo to their new home at Werribee Open Range Zoo and now there’s even more to celebrate!
Three members of the herd – Num-Oi, Dokkoon and Mali – are all confirmed pregnant, with calves expected around April 2027, marking an exciting next chapter for the herd and for Asian elephant conservation in Victoria.
Dinos are coming!
Let your imagination run wild as you explore the prehistoric world on our brand-new Dino Trail. See your favourite dinosaurs brought to life with animatronics and photos ops.
From April 3 - Dinos at the Zoo
Then, step into another world when the sun goes down as these prehistoric giants light up the dark. Bring your torch, sense of adventure and enjoy light shows, roving performers, activities and more!
8 nights only from April 11 - Dinos After Dark
