Wildlife Guardians at the Byron Bay Wildlife Sanctuary

Give your children the opportunity to become Wildlife Guardians at The Byron Bay Wildlife Sanctuary! Spend an exciting day with the keepers behind the scenes, learning about wildlife conservation and animal care.

The Wildlife Guardians program includes a comprehensive sanctuary tour with a designated keeper, meeting all the wildlife residents, watching interactive keeper talks on reptiles, as well as free-flight bird presentations, and kangaroo and emu feeding. The kids can also enjoy a private snake and lizard encounter, creating enrichment for the wildlife by making safe treats and toys that encourage natural behaviors and play, bug and insect play along with invertebrate identification, as well as enjoying putt-putt mini golf and playing in the splash park.

Aimed at participants aged eight – 12 years this is a unique and educational experience that will inspire a lifelong love of wildlife and conservation in your children.

Morning Tea, lunch, and an ice cream are included. If your child needs additional snacks throughout the day they are welcome to bring a lunchbox.

Please pack your swimmers and a towel as on hot days the keeper program sometimes concludes in the water splash park.
