Cuddle with your better half and cosy up with the wildlife with a night at the Melbourne Zoo.

Experience a sleepover at the zoo and enjoy an intimate look at the diverse bushland animals of Australia. Thankfully, you will not lie with the lions if you sign up for the zoo’s Roar ‘n’ Snore Overnight Camp. Instead, you get to wine, dine and sleep comfortably at the historic elephant exhibit (sans elephants). Built in the 1940s, the exhibit has been refurbished as a camping facility.

Before you retire for the night, venture on a night tour. As you explore the zoo in the dark, take note of the nocturnal animals in their natural habitat. Then, wake up in the morning to the rousing calls of gibbons and birds before you enjoy breakfast. After that, you can chat with the zookeepers, experience up-close encounters with the animals, or learn what happens behind the scenes.

A night at the Melbourne Zoo is both romantic and educational—highly recommended for wildlife lovers.
