Science week at Taronga

Join us for a unique, Science Week adventure where students become scientists as they uncover the wonders of the natural world through hands-on discovery.

Across ten interactive learning stations, students will investigate animal adaptations, ecosystems, conservation technologies, and First Nations knowledge systems. Equipped with a Science Passport, students will travel through the Zoo collecting stamps, recording their observations, and capturing questions that spark their curiosity. Every activity is designed to foster scientific thinking and inquiry.
