Themes for the upcoming school holidays include:

- World Fish Migration Day - students will learn about the importance of keeping our waterways clean, and meet some of the animals that call the Zoo's waterways home
- International Plant Day - celebrating the benefits plants provide to our environment, from feeding us, to improving air quality and creating habitat for wildlife
- World Bat Day - encouraging students to learn more about these species and the role they play in nature. Bats are mammals of the order Chiropteran. With their forelimbs adapted as wings, they are the only mammals capable of true and sustained flight. Bats are more agile in flight than most birds, flying with their very long spread-out digits covered with a thin membrane or patagium. Did you know: bats are also related to the Primates, the mammal taxon that includes lemurs, monkeys, apes, and humans!
The Zoo Adventures program includes entry to the zoo, morning tea/light supper and all activities throughout the day. Zoo Adventures run on weekdays from Monday, April 10 to Friday, April 21 2023.
Bookings are essential. Please contact 6881 1433 or visit www.taronga.org.au for further information on sessions.
