Supervising adults

- 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.
Carers and companions
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.

BYO and 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.
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.
Off display
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.
