Zoo Playgroup
Melbourne Zoo is excited to introduce an eight week playgroup designed for our youngest members and their adult carers.
Zoo Playgroup offers a nature-inspired experience through engaging, play-based activities tailored to support children's development and connection with their natural world. These activities may include sensory play, storytelling, song and nature crafts, all centred around a weekly theme.
Designed by Early Childhood Specialists and aligned with the Victorian Early Years Learning and Development Framework (VEYLDF), this program aims to foster a positive connection with nature and instill conservation values as your child explores the zoo's outdoor environments.
By booking into your first date and time slot, you are confirming that you will attend the same time each week for the duration of the term.
Testimonial from a Zoo Member
"I was impressed by the variety of activities on offer for the kids and the level of detail applied to all activities. Ash was engaging and very knowledgeable. I have done a lot of different play groups in my time (in my life prior to kids I evaluated children play programs at hospitals across Australia) and this is one of the best and most creative programs I have come across."
