Official Welcome Ceremony

Conservation Conversation

Knowledge is power. Join us for our Conservation Conversation with Australia Zoo’s esteemed reptile keepers Nick and Bruce! Starting at 3:30 pm at the Crikey Café, they’ll share our incredible story of pioneering the 1st successful breeding program of the Irwin’s Turtle, a rare and unique species discovered by Steve in 1990.

Wildlife Warriors Conservation Mission

Your mission, should you choose to accept it, is to team up with your friends and family to uncover four incredible animal conservation projects! Follow the clues around the Zoo to find all four special projects and collect a Wildlife Warriors wristband at each location. You’ll also have the opportunity to meet some of our friendly team along the way!
