Minister for Parks and Wildlife Bess Price said a program for children aged between 8-12 was a great chance to learn how the park works.
“The Desert Explorer Program treats kids to a range of activities with zoo keepers and guides that are sure be the highlight of their summer holidays,” Mrs Price said.
“Desert Explorer’s will meet iconic desert animals, get their hands dirty with food preparation for the animals, learn to identify different species and see how the animals are trained.
“School holidays are a fantastic chance to make the most of your Territorian pass.
“If you are a local, for the cost of a single entry you can sign up for a Territorian Pass entitling you unlimited entry to the Desert Park for 12 months.
“There is so much to do at the Desert Park these holidays. The ‘Summer Specials’ are aimed at locals and offers a great opportunity to meet some of the famous animals at the park.”
On Mondays enjoy ‘Summer Craft’ between 9am to 10am which offers a variety of Christmas and nature based crafts from Christmas decorations, animal masks to glitter and seed activities.
Summer Crafts is a free activity once you have entered the Desert Park and is suited to children aged 2-12 years.
On Wednesdays meet one of the young Wedge-tailed Eagles in the courtyard between 11am and 12pm and have your photo taken with Australia’s largest bird of prey.
Bring your camera along to catch your candid happy snap with an eagle. This is a special offer only over summer.
On Fridays you can ‘Walk with Digger and Marle’ between 8am – 8.30am. Rise early and help walk the dingoes with a specialist keeper and spend some time with Digger and Marle learning about these majestic animals. Bring your camera for lots of action shots.
