Ready, Teddy, Go!

These school holidays kids are invited to bring their special teddy (or plush) friend to Healesville Sanctuary to meet our Teddy Check Team for a free Teddy Vet Check. Kids can assist our Teddy Check Team to diagnose their teddy’s ailments, bandage them up and give them special care while learning about the amazing animals at the Sanctuary and how they are cared for by our dedicated team of vets and keepers. 

The complimentary Teddy Vet Checks will be offered every day of the school holidays from 11am to 2pm at the Australian Wildlife Health Centre with patients receiving a free Teddy Vet Check certificate for their brave teddy to take home. 

Once teddy is feeling better, head out for a walk through the lofty gums of our Koala Forest, catch a Keeper Talk, or be wowed at our spectacular Spirits of the Sky presentation. 

Whatever your chosen adventure be sure to bring teddy along to the Sanctuary these spring holidays for a special adventure; ready teddy, off we go! 

On your next visit to the Sanctuary, leave your pram at home and enjoy the ease of Baby Jogger prams now available for hire from the gift shop thanks to our new partnership with Baby Jogger. 

But be early: numbers are limited! 

*Children under 16 receive free entry during Victorian School Holidays, Victorian Public Holidays and weekends. Teddies of all ages are free 365 days a year but must be accompanied by a human carer.
