Alma Park Zoo is a self guided excursion and as many schools come for such a wide variety of reasons, set tours and talks specifically tailored for schools, outside of our normal Meet the Keeper talks, are not provided.

However a new program developed with the Australian Koala Foundation is now available this is still a self guided tour when at the Zoo.
