Keeper for a Day - Private Experience

$400 per child

Want your child to have the VIP experience as a "KEEPER FOR A DAY"?

If you’re aged between 8 and 18, you can spend an exciting day behind the scenes one-on-one with one of our senior keepers.

During this immersive experience, you will:

  • Discover what a day in the life of a sanctuary keeper is like through interactive, hands-on activities

  • Learn about local wildlife conservation efforts

  • Participate in animal husbandry practices

  • Observe wildlife and their natural behaviors

  • Create and provide enrichment for our wildlife residents by making safe treats and toys that encourage play and stimulate natural behaviors

Additionally, you will go on a sanctuary tour with a designated keeper, meet all the wildlife residents, watch our interactive keeper talks including a reptiles talk, free flight bird presentation, and kangaroo and emu feeding sessions, and enjoy a private snake and lizard encounter.

This one-day workshop is perfect for young people aged 8 to 18 who are independently physically capable. Book now to secure your spot and experience the thrill of being a keeper for a day at The Byron Bay Wildlife Sanctuary. Limited availability, so don’t miss out on this unique opportunity!
