Keeper Kids daily itinerary
Your child will enjoy a fun‑filled day exploring the park with their very own guide leading the way! The adventure includes:
- A guided tour through some of our favourite park habitats, learning about the amazing wildlife that call them home.
- Behind‑the‑scenes access at selected keeper stations, where kids get an exclusive look at how we care for our animals each day.
- A special visit to the Flight Deck presentation, where they’ll experience incredible birds of prey in action and learn how our keepers train and care for them.
With hands‑on learning, close‑up wildlife moments, and plenty of exciting surprises along the way, it’s a school holiday experience they won’t forget!
You don't have to stay with your child, enjoy a morning to yourself - our trained guides (all with Ochre Cards and First Aid) will supervise the group throughout the day. The program is designed to run independently of parents.
