About this tour

Learn about orangutans and the conservation work of their keepers during this small group zoo experience. The official zoo page lists a 25-minute session for a maximum of eight people. The experience may involve the orangutans or siamangs and access arranged by the keepers. It is not a guarantee of touching or feeding an animal. Melbscape allows 30 minutes in the planner to fit the session into its 15-minute time increments.

Make the most of your visit

Zoo admission is not included. Minimum age is eight. Participants aged eight to fifteen need a paying adult; check the zoo’s adult-to-child ratios and accessibility arrangements before booking.

Detailed group limits and access arrangements are not recorded as checked facts for this listing. Confirm current tickets and booking terms with the venue.
