We look forward to welcoming you and your ākonga to Auckland Zoo in the near future so that we can share our passion for wildlife conservation and share our knowledge to inspire tamariki to be kaitiaki of te taiao (the environment)!
Auckland Zoo is excited to launch New Zealand’s first zoo-based online conservation learning platform - offering easily accessible, interactive courses for all ages and abilities here in Aotearoa and around the world!
What’s a great way for kids to learn about adaptations? Seeing a giraffe up close, of course! We have Zoo sessions that suit a wide range of topics, centered around wildlife, people and the environment – and it’s all linked to the New Zealand curriculum.
Here at Auckland Zoo we aim to lead by example, with optimism, with expertise and with passion. By connecting today's tamariki with wildlife, nature, and conservation, we can foster passion and empathy for wildlife and wild places.
Our education programme has been developed with the latest wildlife conservation science in mind. We have also drawn on a wealth of education experience within the team to ensure learning experiences are engaging and informative – inspiring informed action from our younger citizens.
Join us for our monthly Wild Wednesday Webinar with the Conservation Learning Team at Auckland Zoo!
We’ve created easy to use lesson plans and learning resources to support teachers in your online classrooms.
