Twilight tastings to help save wildlife

Bringing together an impressive line-up of local craft beer, summery cocktails, and a world of wildlife, Roar and Pour is the new two-day beer and spirits festival set in the lush surrounds of Melbourne Zoo.

Spend a balmy evening enjoying tastings from local and interstate breweries and distilleries, then spread out on the lawns with a round from one of our open-air bars.

Wander the trails before the sun sets to catch a rare glimpse of the animals after hours and take in the unique sights and sounds of the zoo at dusk. Delight the senses with live music, carousel rides and tasty street food from the various food outlets.

And the best bit? Your visit helps Zoos Victoria save local wildlife from extinction.​
