Welcome to Perth Zoo

Happy, Healthy and Thriving

Staying healthy is essential! This program explores how we care for our bodies—inside and out—and highlights the importance of mental wellbeing too.

Using a variety of Zoo animals, the program draws connections between how humans stay healthy and how Zoo keepers and vets care for animal wellbeing.

This experience will take place in a Discovery Room and students will; 

  • investigate the many ways we care for animals at the Zoo and the similarities and differences with their own person healthcare
  • be surprised to learn of some of the important vet work that happens onsite 
  • have fun determining what mystery health care items are and the who, how and why they are used at the Zoo 
  • share interesting findings with the class.
