Melbourne Zoo gets some 10,000 visitors a day, and all of them have gone home when my daughter and I pull into the parking lot at 6pm. Camping in safari tents, we'll explore the zoo as it comes alive in darkness, a wild night out for the whole family.

Quokkas are hot, and #quokkaselfie is officially a thing, which is good news for the place you’re most likely to encounter them.
