Wildlife Wanderers!
Welcome to Wildlife Wanderers, where we aim to inspire the next generation through nature connection and animal interaction in a family-friendly environment! Our program is not your typical nature play session.
From exploring Australian Indigenous culture to learning about recycling and reusing items, or focusing on our animals like Little Penguins, Tasmanian Devils, or Tree Kangaroos, there's always something exciting to discover. We also love to get you moving with activities like scavenger hunts and Zookeeper led tours, as well as jumping into science-related topics. Not to mention the ability to get hands on with our amazing education animals.
