Events with a Wild Difference
For a corporate event that’s truly unforgettable, Werribee Open Range Zoo offers a one-of-a-kind backdrop where business meets adventure. Just 30 minutes from Melbourne, this world-class zoo combines versatile event spaces with immersive wildlife experiences, perfect for conferences, gala dinners, welcome functions, or large-scale celebrations.
Begin your event with an exclusive zoo tour aboard deluxe safari buses, transporting guests across the open savannah where rhinos, giraffes, and zebras roam. Sip cocktails beside the meerkat enclosure, host pre-dinner drinks at Hippo Beach, or hold a conference in the Slumber Dining Hut with sweeping views of the savannah.
With both indoor and outdoor venues to choose from, the zoo caters for everything from intimate networking events to full-scale corporate family days. Exclusive after hours hire is also available during daylight savings, accommodating groups from 500 to 3,000 for a spectacular private experience.
Zoo Events work with you to design tailored experiences that include catering, AV, entertainment, tours, and animal encounters – ensuring your business event is as seamless as it is memorable.
