National Science Week
Join us to celebrate National Science Week with a series of fun and educational activities at Healesville Sanctuary!
19 & 22 August
Race Around the Zoo
Get ready for an adventure! Visitors will split into teams to race around the Sanctuary, tackling exciting tasks and coming face to face with endangered animals along the way. The mission will not be won on speed, but rather teamwork and sharp eyes. The Threatened Species Mission is your chance to uncover why some species are at risk of disappearing and what we can do to save their habitats and help them thrive. Dive into the action and become a hero for wildlife.
Minimum age 8 years. Limited capacity.
15, 16 & 21 August
Aboriginal Cultures Workshops
Every day at the Sanctuary, our Aboriginal Cultures Officers deliver workshops for students. This National Science Week we are sharing this experience with our visitors. In these workshops, you will explore Aboriginal Cultures, knowledge systems and relationships with Country, and connect with ancient and contemporary ways of caring for Country.
The workshop explores:
Aboriginal Cultures, knowledge systems and connection to Country and wildlife
Australian Animal features and behaviours
How living things depend on each other and their environment
Impact of humans and seasonal changes on the environment
Actions that you can adopt to help care for Country
All ages welcome. Attendees older than 3 years are required to register due to limited capacity.
This is an Inspiring Victoria event, part of National Science Week and supported by the Royal Society of Victoria.
