Meerkat Mayhem @ Werribee Open Range Zoo

Meerkat Mayhem

25 June – 16 September

Meet the meerkats and make some mischief this winter at Werribee Open Range

Zoo’s new meerkat-themed play space.

Kids under 16 visit free during school holidays*, so it’s the perfect time to discover

the new play space. There’s a meerkat burrow to crawl through, logs and rocks to

clamber over and a special lookout where children can take turns as the sentry,

watching over the savannah for birds of prey and sounding the alert!

With views across to the Zoo’s growing meerkat family, the new space provides kids

with an opportunity to watch and learn; creating their very own meerkat manor as

they explore, play, forage and take turns as chief lookout.

The new play space is also conveniently located right next to the popular Meerkat

Bistro, with parents able to relax with a coffee or meal out on the deck as the kids

play.

Popping out of the meerkat burrow, kids can climb up to the look-out, using the

binoculars to search the skies and perfect their meerkat sentry pose. When they spot

an Eagle hovering in the air, it’s time to sound the alarm and race back to the burrow

for safety.

Each day there will be a special Meerkat Keeper Talk and feed, providing a special

opportunity to learn more about these amazing animals.

*Entry to the Zoo is free for kids under 16 during the Victorian school holidays, public

holidays and weekends.
