The oldest zoo in Australia, opened in 1862 in the gardens of Royal Park just north of the city, Melbourne Zoo blends grand old bluestone and heritage trees with modern immersive habitats. Lions and gorillas, an elephant herd and a celebrated butterfly house share the grounds with a strong native collection and a lemur walk-through. The bushland-style Australian sections and the tall shady avenues make it a pleasure to wander, and summer's twilight concerts fill the lawns. Reached in minutes by tram or train, it is a fixture of a Melbourne childhood.
