Free Zoo Day for Teachers

Curious about what Zoos Victoria can offer your students?

Join us on Friday 3 October for Teacher Family Open Day - a free, fun day at the zoo for educators and their families, with opportunities to explore our learning programs and meet our Education team.

Held across all four Zoos Victoria locations; Melbourne Zoo, Healesville Sanctuary, Werribee Open Range Zoo, and Kyabram Fauna Park. This day is designed to help teachers discover new ways to connect their students with wildlife and conservation through our educational experiences, all while enjoying a fun day out at the Zoo.
