Unlike any other zoo experience, students visiting the National Zoo & Aquarium are immersed into the life of the wild. Whether meeting friendly animals or observing natural behaviours in their wild counterparts, the zoo offers a unique opportunity to connect with the wonders of the natural world.

  • Immersive educational experiences, with front row seats to animal feeding and enrichment opportunities.
  • Reptile interactions.
  • Entry to the Zoo for the whole day.
  • Unique, fun and unforgettable experiences.

Our highly trained education team expertly guides our Discovery Learning Sessions. All sessions are Australian Curriculum based, covering a variety of topics, including habitats, adaptations and endangered species. (Please see our website for the complete list of topics.)
