“We've been going to mansfield zoo since my daughter was about 6 or so. She's now 18. Today we got to take my son who is 11 months old. We love mansfield zoo. Being able to mosey around and feed animals is amazing. The staff are always wonderful and friendly! We will always support this family run zoo”

“We rented a house near this zoo. What can I say? Those were the best moments of my life! Starting from 5 in the morning, horses would come up to our little house! We fed them. And then there were the sounds of birds from the zoo. Since we rented this house to go skiing on Mount Buller, we didn't expect to be so close to this zoo. We visited it and were even more amazed. The people working there are so lovely, right to the core! Many wild animals, and they employ staff. Not everyone would be able to feed such animals as dingoes, lions, and crocodiles by hand. A worthwhile place. I recommend it 100%! We even bought toys at the entrance and exit so that the money would go towards feeding the animals. An amazing, genuine zoo where they love the animals!❤️”
