The Ranger Red’s Zoo & Conservation Park Zookeeper for a day program is suitable for wildlife enthusiasts from 8 to 16 years of age. Of course, it’s not just age that makes you suitable to be a Zookeeper. You also need to be brave, hard working, and responsible. After all, you’ll be dealing with all sorts of wild animals! Some fly, some slither, and some, if you don’t treat them with respect, might just bite. So, being a Zookeeper isn’t for the faint-hearted. But, it could just be the best experience of your life.
Participants may be placed in groups relative to their age and experience.
In this experience you will see parts of the zoo that are not available for viewing by the general public.
There’s always heaps to do at the Zoo and it’s often quite unplanned. One minute you might be bottle feeding baby Rufous Bettong’s the next you could be holding a 2.5 metre Olive Python. Regardless of what nature throws up, what we can plan for our Junior Zookeepers is an unbelievable day.
Junior Zookeepers can look forward to some hands on work with the team at Ranger Red’s Zoo & Conservation Park. That work can include animal handling, husbandry, and feeding, as well as experiencing and learning about the captive breeding of endangered species. In general, the opportunity of being a Junior Zookeeper at Ranger Red’s Zoo & Conservation Park gives children a greater understanding, appreciation, and respect for the world around us.
This experience includes the opportunity to be a Junior Zookeeper for a day, a cool Zookeeper 4 A Day cap, certificate and lunch on the day.
Please note that this experience requires a minimum of 2 participants for the session go ahead.
