Melbourne Zoo is excited to introduce an eight week playgroup designed for our youngest members and their adult carers.

Zoo Playgroup offers a nature-inspired experience through engaging, play-based activities tailored to support children's development and connection with their natural world. These activities may include sensory play, storytelling, song and nature crafts, all centred around a weekly theme.

Designed by Early Childhood Specialists and aligned with the Victorian Early Years Learning and Development Framework (VEYLDF), this program aims to foster a positive connection with nature and instil conservation values as your child explores the zoo's outdoor environments.
