Wild Adventures
School Holiday Program
School Holiday Program
Our brand new and exciting school holiday program puts participants right in the heart of the action at Currumbin Wildlife Sanctuary and runs each and every school holidays! Attendees will participate in activities exclusive to the Wild Adventures school holiday program including enrichment feeding, behind the scenes access and up-close and personal animal encounters. With 5 different, action-packed days, there is even more to see and explore.
Please bring along a packed morning tea and lunch.
Two age groups per day allow for tailored and specific content to ensure everyone has an enjoyable day. If your children’s ages sit across the two programs, and they want to be in the same group, please call us to discuss.
Each themed day starts at 8:30am and finishes at 3:30pm
