If you love animals and family fun, there is plenty to enjoy at Mansfield Zoo this New Year’s Eve. Have fun meeting and feeding a large range of animals or even camp overnight if you dare!
You can celebrate a memorable New Year’s Eve with lion feeding at 7:30pm and the zoo open until 10:00pm, great for families looking for something a little different. The Mansfield Zoo features a large menagerie of animals from across Australia and around the world, including two rare white lions, two tawny lions, monkeys, deer, camels, bison, alligator, wombats and much more. The meerkats have also arrived, adding to the fun!
You can also feed most of the animals by hand while you wander the expansive grounds. Bring a picnic lunch or use the free barbeques provided, just watch that the deer don’t steal your food from you!
For the more adventurous, there’s nothing like trying to sleep to the sound of the lion’s roar. Overnight campers are welcome from September 1st to May 31st each season, but you do need to book a spot. Bring your own gear and set yourself up for a camping trip with a difference and take the opportunity to roam the zoo after hours.
The Mansfield Zoo is open every day from 10am to 6pm (10pm on New Year’s Eve) and is closed on Christmas Day. More information is available on the website, www.mansfieldzoo.com.au, on Facebook, or call (03) 5777 3576.
