Dream Day is a specially-curated event designed to provide children with disabilities and their families a magical, inclusive, and sensory-friendly experience at Melbourne Zoo. 

The event is aimed to remove the barriers prohibiting families of children with disability from enjoying outings to public attractions such as the Zoo. To help achieve this Melbourne Zoo will be closed to the public for the day.

This year’s theme is Underwater Adventure children will be immersed in a colourful, engaging world inspired by the mysteries of the deep sea — filled with interactive exhibits, gentle marine-themed entertainment, and hands-on encounters designed to spark joy, imagination, and connection.

More event information will be emailed to Dream Day guests in the week leading up to the event so keep an eye on your inbox.

Dream Day is delivered in partnership with ACD Advocating for Children with Disability, and with the generous support of our partners and supporters.
