This is a once in a lifetime opportunity to venture behind the scenes at Healesville Sanctuary, discover what we are doing to fight wildlife extinction, and meet some of our most precious endangered animals.
By taking this exclusive tour, you will join our very own fighting extinction superhero, Zooperman, on his quest to save Australia's threatened species from extinction.
The tour takes you into the working environment of the Sanctuary on an open-air mini bus with a ranger guiding you for the full hour-long experience. You will meet our keepers, hear stories of wildlife protection, and, most importantly, see our endangered animals up close.
This is an engaging family-friendly experience that will appeal to animal lovers of any age. So jump on our Fighting Extinction bus today … and join the fight to save wildlife!
