As dusk approaches, a different world awakens within the grounds of Melbourne Zoo.
I, Animal is a world-first interactive experience – part multi-media tour, theatrical experience, and animal encounter, designed for adults only at Melbourne Zoo.
Launching on 23 November 2012, I, Animal uses ground-breaking technology to take you on a remarkable, and surprisingly emotive, journey through the interior of Melbourne Zoo at night.
You will embark on an unexpected, provocative adventure that explores our pre-conceptions about the animal kingdom and questions the boundaries between human and animal.
Produced in collaboration with The Border Project, the experience uses an iPod touch application built specifically for the Zoo by Art Processors, the technical design team behind the Museum of Old and New Art (MONA) and the ‘O’ device
Guided by your personal device, the “Zöe”, you will explore the Zoo at night, experiencing animal encounters, stories about the Zoo over its 150 years and the nature of the zoo’s most famous (and not so famous) residents, with theatrical moments that will surprise, move and delight you.
I, Animal is an exclusive, Melbourne only event held daily at Melbourne Zoo, Elliot Avenue, Parkville. Tickets cost $39 for General Admission and $35 for Zoo Members and Concession including students.
Melbourne Zoo has also introduced the I, Return pack, which is a set of 3 tickets for $99, allowing visitors to come back for the remaining 3 tours. You can also buy I, Animal gift vouchers and then select your own dates.
