International Work Experience at the Australian Reptile Park

Australian Reptile Park
The Australian Reptile Park's work and play work experience program offers international tourists a close encounter with wildlife and the chance to live like a zoo keeper!  Students get loads of hands-on interaction with a range of reptiles and mammals and have the opportunity to carry out general tasks our keepers experience on a daily basis!  This is truly a unique tour and a fantastic way to learn about and handle our diverse range of wildlife.

KEEPER EXPERIENCE

There are five amazing sessions you can join to experience up close what it's like to be a keeper in a zoo! These exciting and interactive sessions have been put together by our team of keepers to show you what their daily job is like. You won't experience this anywhere else!  The morning session starts from 9.30am and the afternoon from 2.30pm with additional options of morning/afternoon tea or a BBQ lunch!  When you have completed your activities, you will even receive a Certificate to show off your accomplishment!
