Feed Giraffes at the Werribee Zoo with Wild Animal Encounters

You can now feed giraffes at the Werribee Zoo with their wild encounters! See eye to eye with one of the tallest animals in the world in a spectacular wild animal encounter just 30mins from Melbourne. This is the perfect gift idea for any child.

Amazing Animal Encounter at the Werribee Zoo

The Werribee Zoo now has an amazing Giraffe feeding experience where small groups can get up close to these amazing animals.

In this 90 minute experience you will learn all about the giraffes, their feeding, sleeping and other habits and their daily care.

Driven in a safari type van, you will cross the Savannah at Werribee Zoo to the Giraffes sleeping sheds. The keeper will then give you a short introduction before it is feeding time!

Feeding the Giraffes

At feeding time, as the hungry giraffes approach you can appreciate the sheer size of them. They bend their long necks over the fence and participants are given tree branches and carrot sticks to feed.

Children are encouraged to join in too! There are plenty of giraffes so nobody misses out and they are quite friendly too.
