FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
+ Is there a waitlist for fully booked sessions?
There is no waiting list for our Kids and Youth Programs. If there are cancellations, the tickets will be re-released on our website. So keep an eye on our website for any updates.
+ My child can no longer attend, can I get a refund?
Tickets to attend our Kids and Youth Programs are non-refundable. Please ensure you have chosen the correct date and program for your child when booking. A no show on the day will result in the ticket being forfeited.
+ What does my child need to bring?
Please make sure your child is wearing enclosed shoes and weather appropriate clothing such as a hat, jacket and raincoat. Also pack a water bottle, and if you will be at the Zoo all day, pack morning tea and lunch to keep tummies from rumbling.
