Exploration Asia
The Exploration Asia Redevelopment project is officially underway! While there are some viewing impacts in the area, you can still visit many of your favourite species.
Due to significant construction activities in and around Exploration Asia, the zoo’s West Gate will remain closed for the 2025 season and is expected to remain closed until at least 2028/2029. This necessary step supports the safe movement of visitors while we undertake exciting improvements to animal habitats and visitor experiences.
On-site Program
In this program students will act as budding botanists, learning about the importance of plants in our world. Through station-based activities aimed at discovering various aspects of plants, such as seed dispersal, pollination, life cycles and function of anatomy, students will reflect on the question, “How does our understanding and appreciation of plants help us to protect our environment?”
Length: 60 minutes
Program times: 10:00 a.m., 11:15 a.m., 12:45 p.m.
