There are three essential steps to organising your excursion to Perth Zoo.

1. Decide what type of excursion
2. Submit a booking request
3. Organise transport

Step 1: Education Experience or Self-guided?

Step one is to decide what type of excursion you would like. You may choose to manage a self-guided experience yourself or have one of our experienced educators deliver a 45 – 60 minute education experience. Click on the links below to find out more about our curriculum linked programs.

• Kindy to Year 3
• Year 4 to 6
• Year 7 to 10
• Year 11 to 12

All schools are required to make a booking for all Zoo visits and programs to access our special pricing. 

* Bookings for education experiences or self-guided visits require a minimum of 10 students​. The pricing above is for our 45-60 minute programs only. 
** Prices are effective 1 January 2024

Supervising Adults

We want you to be able to supervise your students fully and fulfil your duty-of-care and so we provide free admission for supervising adults on the following ratios:

• K – 3 :  One adult per five children  (1:5)
• 4 – Tertiary: One adult per ten students (1:10)

Additional adult helpers pay regular Zoo admission. Perth Zoo offers free entry to carers or essential companions of those with particular needs. We accept the national Companion Card or a letter from a recognised care/social service organisation. The principal of the school needs to provide a letter identifying the carer/essential companion/Education Assistant (Special Needs) that will be accompanying your group.

Step 2. Submit a Booking Request

Submit a school booking request online by clicking on the button below.

We will process your booking request or contact you by telephone if we are unable to do so. You will receive a written confirmation for your booking within five working days. Please telephone 9474 0365 if you do not receive a confirmation within this time.

Step 3. Organise Transport

Transperth: Getting on-board with Transperth is both low-cost and environmentally-friendly. Buses 30 and 31 from the City will drop you literally at our front gate! Transperth can provide you with information on transport costs and help you plan your excursion route to Perth Zoo using public transport. Contact the Transperth Education Team on (08) 9326 3970, education@transperth.wa.gov.au or visit their website here. Remember! Off-peak travel only. Two weeks’ notice is preferred.

BYO & Chartered Bus: The safest way to drop students off is to enter the carpark off Mill Point Road and drive along the access road (10km/hr) and pull into a temporary bus bay to unload. Charter buses can then proceed to exit onto Labouchere Road and BYO buses can circle the block and park in the (free, limited) bus parking in the Mill Point Road parking area.

With the Zoo open every day of the year, this means that some exhibits and areas may be closed and animals off-display from time to time. Check the Off Display section on the day of your visit.

Step 4. Organise Lunch

Ordering lunch via Flexischools is the easiest and most convenient way to ensure your child’s excursion is otterly zooper.

Simply download the Flexischools app and Perth Zoo’s excursion menu will be available to make an order.
