And all the more so, it is worth every penny for our little munchkins. It has a lot of their interest in its pockets.

Exploring Flora & Fauna, interacting with animals in farms, running in the orchard fields is something every kid enjoys. Read out “Enchanting Melbourne” and get ready for this post to help you unbox the amazing fauna this place offers.      

Being aficionado of Nature & animals in wild, here comes a thumbs up for the below mentioned parks and Zoo for kids. Well, equally interesting for we adults too:).

1. Werribee Open Range Zoo :

No, not enough of wildlife exploration has been done, until this zoo having an “African taste” has been made as a stopover. This stopover is sure to give you a hangover for life. Safari across the plains to reveal huge Rhinos, Hippos, tall giraffes, chequered zebras, amazing gorillas, Roaring lions, faster than the fastest Cheetahs, African cats, is just jaw dropping. Isn’t that enough to kick ass to get a life time experience at one place itself and that too in the feel of wild? I’m sure, kids will be stunned by the beauty here and fall in love with wild animals.

2. Collingwood Farm :

Since a visit to Yarra river is sure when in Melbourne, wouldn’t we love to engage with farm animals? Milking the cows, feeding young lambs, cuddle our famous peppy pigs, Go around neigh-ing and other interactions at this farm are just awesome. This farm is hardly 5kms from Yarra river and very easily approachable. I would for sure engage myself in these activities with beautiful farm animals. Plan some farming chores & sit aside on the banks of Yarra river to find tranquility! And its a plus for kids, who can visit this as an experience and even for educational purposes.
