Program description

Werribee Open Range Zoo is home to iconic animals from the grasslands of Africa, Asia, North America and Australia. This is truly a unique, real-world learning experience for you and your students.  

On board your Safari tour, you will be transported through arid landscapes and Savannah grasslands to explore the open plains and learn about some of the world’s most endangered species. 

Explore the zoo at your own pace and take advantage of this unique learning environment.

Use the ClimateWatch Field Guide as an additional resource to engage your students in collecting citizen science data at Werribee Open Range Zoo with the use of a mobile app.
