Purpose of the Excursion Perth Zoo’s unique learning experiences provide living links to the Western Australia’s Curriculum Framework by connecting students with nature and empowering them to take positive action for our environment. The learning experiences have been developed to cover a range of topics and have been tailored to suit different developmental stages from early childhood to late adolescence. Details regarding the Zoo’s education programs can be found on the Zoo website at www.perthzoo.wa.gov.au. Environment Perth Zoo, located in South Perth, is primarily an outdoor venue with some undercover areas/exhibits. The Zoo is spread over 19 hectares and is home to around 1100 native and exotic animals from nearly 200 species. Perth Zoo also manages award-winning breeding programs for critically endangered species. Several exhibits feature shallow, open bodies of water. Supervision is important around these areas. For the safety of the animals and visitors to the Zoo, all visitors should remain on the footpaths provided when moving through the Zoo grounds. Toilet facilities (including accessible facilities for people with disabilities) are clearly marked on the Zoo map. These toilets are accessible by the general public during the day.
