Work with wild animals and real zoo keepers hearing amazing stories. From food prep and animal care to a private seal encounter or fluff a Zebra bed, hide a bears enrichment toys, catch an echidna; no day is the same in the life of a keeper.

Keeper for a Day is an amazing experience that takes you behind-the-scenes into the daily lives of our keepers and gives you a once in a lifetime opportunity to get really close to some of Taronga Zoo’s most popular animals.

As a Keeper for a Day, participants will be able to try their hand at tasks such as preparing food and devising enrichment activities, cleaning enclosures, feeding and meeting some of our animals, and going behind-the-scenes at our world-renowned Wildlife Hospital.

As part of a small group of five or less people, you will be assigned to one of our experienced keepers, who will be your host for the day.

The day includes an “official” Keeper for a Day shirt and bag, lunch, snacks and course material.
