Get Ready for a Wild Day Out!
We’ve refreshed and expanded the mini-zookeeper experiences at the Australian Reptile Park so your animal obsessed kid can feel like a real zookeeper for the day. More time with wildlife, more behind the scenes moments, more inclusions, and more chances for your child to get up close to the animals they love.
From little adventurers to teens who already know they want to work with animals, there is a Kids2Keeper program to match every age and confidence level. They will come home buzzing with stories, fun facts and probably a new favourite animal.
If your child lives and breathes wildlife, this is their dream day out!
