What’s a great way for kids to learn about adaptations? Seeing a giraffe up close, of course!

Experiential learning is at the heart of our conservation learning ethos. Our passionate facilitators connect tamariki with science every day, from ECE to tertiary level – and it’s all linked to the New Zealand curriculum.

Want to understand how the Zoo cares for animals? What native species live in the ngahere? Or what actions you can take in your own backyard for the betterment of wildlife? We have sessions that suit a wide range of topics, centered around wildlife, people and the environment.

“You can set students up for success with our pre-learning resources, and after their Zoo visit they can follow it up with post-learning as well. This is available through our Conservation Learning Online platform and is included in your education session,” explains Patrick, our DOM for conservation learning.
