Interactive Learning Excursions for Primary Schools
At the Australian Reptile Park, we make learning fun and interactive for all students. Our on-site excursions feature curriculum-aligned School Shows designed for students from Early Stage 1 to Stage 3.
A visit to the park enhances students' understanding of the ‘Living World’ unit in the Science & Technology K-6 syllabus. Each show offers hands-on animal experiences, reinforcing key learning outcomes, while teachers receive a Stage-specific digital toolkit for classroom support.
School Shows are included in the excursion entry price.

“The students had a great day seeing first-hand Australia’s native animals. They enjoyed the show and the experience of seeing the animals up close and getting to touch them as well. The staff were friendly, and the overall experience was fantastic.”
