A fabulous day out for the whole family and one of the best-kept secrets of Victoria’s High Country, the Mansfield Zoo is home to all kinds of Australian and exotic animals.
Once inside the gates, discover a surprising and magical place where kids can interact with, and hand-feed, kangaroos, deer and guinea pigs that roam freely.
The zoo is also home to a colony of meerkats, as well as marmosets, Capuchin monkeys, llamas, alpacas, wombats and a variety of birds, including sooty owls, water buffalo and antelope.
There are also four magnificent African lions, including two rare white lions (of only 100 in the world). Visitors of all ages can experience the thrill of being up close to these majestic creatures on a daily feeding tour of these and other animals at the zoo.
It’s ideal for large family gatherings, with undercover places to picnic and enjoy a barbecue. And for a truly unique family experience, there are gorgeous campsites to spend the whole night under the stars and literally wake up to the sounds of the jungle.
Mansfield Zoo’s Bronwyn and Dave, and their dedicated team, welcome visitors daily from 10am to 6pm, except on Christmas Day.
It’s a perfect way to introduce children to the beauty and diversity of the animal kingdom in a safe, relaxed and picturesque environment.
