The ultimate summer school holiday celebration is now happening at Werribee Open Range Zoo with Hippo a Go-Go Beach Party activities each day until the end of January.
Kids can play in designated splash zones and enjoy bubbles, a live DJ and a range of kid-friendly games, while adults can sit in the shade and enjoy delicious food and drink — all at Hippo Beach, amongst the Zoo’s resident hippopotamuses.
Werribee Open Range Zoo’s Hippo Beach is home to 33-year-old hippo Primrose and her two daughters, Tulip and Lotus, who also love cooling off in their three large ponds. Visitors can watch the 1400-kilogram mammals devour more than 10 kilograms of hay, fruit and vegetables throughout the day.
Children under 16 can enjoy the Hippo a Go-Go Beach Party for free when accompanied by a paying adult Zoo visitor. The event is 11am to 2pm each day until Sunday, 28 January.
