Keeper Kids.
Creating an interactive, play-based learning experience to build an engaged and connected audience for life.
Want to be a Zoo-keeper for the day? Feed and care for the animals? Sure thing! Let’s get you a keeper’s uniform and the rest is up to you! Love animals and want to help care for them? Why not try your hand at being a Keeper Kids Vet? Examine real x-rays to see what each patient might need before listening to their heartbeats through specialised stethoscopes. It’s all here waiting for you! This part of the Zoo is just for you, you’re in charge and where the animals live and what they do is completely up to you!
