Do you know a little animal lover who dreams of being a zookeeper one day?
Then they can’t miss the opportunity to become a zookeeper these school holidays! We’ve created 3 new sessions with dates over the December/January school holidays and will sell out fast!
Little keepers will be accompanied by our Featherdale keepers and education officer for a range of activities around the park, making friends with a variety of animals, learning about their specific diets, our enrichment programs to educate and engage our animals and most importantly, the important projects Featherdale is involved with across a variety of key species. The Zookeeper for a Day Program is fully supervised by Qualified keepers or staff and morning tea, lunch and drinks will be provided.
Booking is essential and spots will fill up quickly.
All budding zookeepers receive as part of their ticket:
- Zookeeper for a day shirt or jumper
- Gift bag
- Free kids entry for their next visit to Featherdale
- Each child will receive a Certificate of completion at the conclusion of the day
