Melbourne Zoo is excited to introduce an eight week playgroup designed for our youngest members and their adult carers.

Zoo Playgroup offers a nature-inspired experience through engaging, play-based activities tailored to support children's development and connection with their natural world. These activities may include sensory play, storytelling, song and nature crafts, all centred around a weekly theme.

Designed by Early Childhood Specialists and aligned with the Victorian Early Years Learning and Development Framework (VEYLDF), this program aims to foster a positive connection with nature and instill conservation values as your child explores the zoo's outdoor environments.

Testimonial from a Zoo Member

" I was impressed by the variety of activities on offer for the kids and the level of detail applied to all activities. Ash was engaging and very knowledgeable. I have done a lot of different play groups in my time (in my life prior to kids I evaluated children play programs at hospitals across Australia) and this is one of the best and most creative programs I have come across."
