Where Are You?
Werribee's attractions are spread across the southern precinct — Zoo, Mansion, Cliffs, and Beach. Here's what's near each.
At the Zoo
Zoo internal toilets (ticketed)
Multiple toilets inside the zoo — entrance, safari area, hippo exhibit, food court. Zoo entry ticket required.
Werribee Open Range Zoo has excellent toilet facilities throughout. But they're behind the ticket gate ($44 adult). The nearest FREE public toilet outside the zoo is at Werribee Park/Mansion — about 1km away in the same precinct.
At the Mansion / Park
Werribee Park Toilets
Free public toilets at the Werribee Park visitor area. Near the formal gardens and car park.
Werribee Park (the grounds around the mansion) is free to enter. Toilets are in the main car park area. Good facilities — accessible and baby change available. Use these before/after a zoo visit if you don't want to pay entry just for a toilet.
At K Road Cliffs
K Road Cliffs Toilets
Toilet block at the cliff-top car park. Red sandstone cliffs overlooking Port Phillip Bay.
K Road Cliffs is a local favourite — dramatic red sandstone cliffs with bay views to the You Yangs and Melbourne skyline. The toilet is in the car park above the cliffs. Basic but serviceable. Popular at sunset.
At Werribee South Beach
Werribee South Beach Toilets
Beach car park toilet. Quiet, undeveloped beach popular with dog walkers and kitesurfers.
Werribee South Beach is not a typical swimming beach — it's flat, shallow, and can be murky from the river mouth. But it's great for dogs (off-leash sections), kitesurfing, and peaceful walks. Basic toilet at the car park.

Toilets at intervals along the Werribee River walking and cycling trail through suburban parkland.
The Werribee River Trail is a paved path running through the suburbs along the river. Toilets at Presidents Park and other points. Popular for cycling, running, and dog walking.
