Park Rangers host the free Junior Ranger program for kids aged 6 to 12 and their families to have fun learning in nature, get outdoors and better understand Victoria's wonderful plants, wildlife and amazing natural and cultural heritage.
All Junior Ranger activities are designed to inspire curiosity, whether it's going on a Nature Treasure Hunt, searching for creatures on a Minibeast Discovery, Megabat Flyout or as a Wildlife Detective, learning about plants as a Flora Explorer, or hearing about the history of our environment on a cultural walk and talk.
Parks Victoria Education and Interpretation Officer, James Adams, says the variety of activities we run in our Junior Ranger program engages kids and families in exploring the natural world around them.
“At Parks Victoria, we believe nature is essential for human health and wellbeing and that everyone should have the opportunity to connect with nature, especially children.”
“Spending time playing and learning outdoors provides children with developmental benefits such as improved physical and mental health and social connections,” says James.
All activities are free but bookings are essential and children must be accompanied by a parent or guardian. Be the first to know what's on by signing up to the Junior Ranger Mailing List.
