Boot camp Melbourne

Whether you’re into jazz, pop, swing or rock there’s something for every music lover. For the romantic at heart a special Valentine’s Day Twilights concert – surprise the one you love! Or jump in and celebrate Leap Year on Leap Day and help to save frogs at our special Frog Conservation Twilights concert!

Leap Day Concert

Earth is facing the single largest mass extinction since the disappearance of dinosaurs, the mass extinction of frogs. Zoos Victoria is part of a worldwide taskforce established to raise urgently needed funds to save frogs from extinction and this is your chance to help.

Get hopping, and come along to this very special Twilights event, a night of music, fun and games to help save frogs. All proceeds from the night will go towards frog conservation.

Ticketing

Visitors need a special Twilights Ticket to attend the concerts. The audience number will be restricted to ensure that everyone in the Twilights Concert area is comfortable, with a good view, and that facilities are not over-crowded.

The 2008 Twilights Tickets are available for pre-purchase from Ticketmaster.

Please note: The concert lawn areas open from 4.30pm. The concerts start at 6.30pm and finish at around 9.00pm.

Wildlife Viewing

You can access most areas of Melbourne Zoo until 7.30pm on Twilights evenings. We recommend you visit the apes, monkeys, Butterfly House and Platypus House prior to 5.00pm. There is also a variety of special keeper talks held each evening at specified exhibits.
