From Melbourne Zoo’s Facebook page:
Melbourne Zoo is closing today due to high winds in the area.
Our priority is keeping our Zoo Members, visitors, staff and the animals in our care safe, so we will be closing for the remainder of today. If you have purchased a ticket online and had not entered the zoo before midday, you will be automatically refunded and you do not need to call us.
Werribee Open Range Zoo, Healesville Sanctuary and Kyabram Fauna Park all remain open today. Melbourne Zoo will reopen tomorrow morning at 9am. We look forward to seeing you then.
By pure coincidence, today happens to be our staff Christmas lunch party.
Kept blowing all the giraffes over
Elephants must have hay fever!
