Hobart Zoo and Aquarium’s Education Program aligns with the Australian Curriculum Version 9 and draws on current information from government and industry experts worldwide.

Students can participate in animal encounters, while teachers receive hands‑on activities and interactive resources supported by a unit plan.

Junior Zookeeper Club offers exclusive Saturday sessions for young wildlife enthusiasts aged 8–14, inspired by Hobart Zoo & Aquarium’s School Holiday Programs and animal experiences.

Children can reconnect with their favourite animals through wildlife learning activities, behind-the-scenes content, colouring activities, DIY at-home experiences, photo galleries, and special members-only surprises.

✨ Experience Hobart Zoo & Aquarium like never before!
Our exclusive encounters let you get closer than ever to your favourite animals. With Keeper for a Day and Lions Raw, you’ll step behind the scenes, meet our amazing wildlife up close, and discover the zoo from a whole new perspective.

Mark your calendars—our most anticipated Spring celebration is back! From October 4 to October 31, join us for BOO! at the Zoo, a month-long, family-friendly Halloween festival at Hobart Zoo & Aquarium that blends festive fun, magical moments, and wild animal adventures.
