National Zoo and Aquarium

Students visiting the National Zoo and Aquarium are immersed into the life of the wild. Whether it's 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.

School groups can meaningfully engage with the curriculum with one of our Discovery Learning Sessions. Delivered by our passionate education team, these 60-minute sessions include:

• Animal feeding and enrichment opportunities.

• Reptile interactions.

• Entry to the Zoo for the whole day.

All sessions are Australian Curriculum based, covering a variety of topics including habitats, adaptations, and endangered species.

Close to the city centre, the Zoo is conveniently located near other major attractions. Give yourself and your students the opportunity to:

• Take a break from a packed schedule.

• Relax in picturesque and safe surroundings.

• Eat lunch in the company of our amazing animal residents.
