Bonorong Wildlife Centre

 A school excursion to Bonorong Wildlife Conservation Centre provides an enjoyable learning experience, with stimulating close contact with our wildlife.

Our passionate wildlife keepers work with school students in our education program, encouraging students to respect and appreciate all Australian native wildlife. Our goal is to spark an interest in native wildlife within every child who visits the Park.

We can tailor your class  tour to suit your curriculum.   Ask our friendly staff when you make a booking to find our more.
