Conservation Academy

Our Conservation Academy was created to provide a fun and educational opportunity to those who are passionate about animals or simply want to try something new. Our staff often comment that delivering these experiences are one of the highlights of their year. Why not see if a new experience interests you?

Rangers

The ‘Rangers’ is a fully interactive, three-day workshop that will have kids thrilled with animal encounters and activities designed to engage, educate and entertain. Open to children aged 6-12 and available during all the school holidays, Rangers provides parents with a fascinating, fun, and educational alternative to childcare.

We will even take care of mealtimes with a choice of nutritious hot meals, snacks, and drinks.

Led by zoo staff, the three-day workshops will keep the children busy and entertained from 10:00am to 4:00pm.
