Orang-utan Sanctuary

At Melbourne Zoo’s Orang-utan Sanctuary, see these magnificent primates behave as they would in the wild - climbing, swinging, nesting and feeding high off the ground - as you journey along the elevated boardwalk and ascend into their tree-top world.

The Orang-utan Sanctuary Visitor Centre features interactive games, sculptures, and multimedia and viewing platforms which bring you face-to-face with these intelligent animals.

Be inspired by stories of people helping to save and conserve this highly endangered species and discover how you can join Melbourne Zoo in making a difference.
