Meet the four female koalas, Aretha, Jannico, Molly and Kyra, and the male koala, Jordan, and learn about their individual stories. The education centre is interactive, with displays, activities and a documentary show (the Theatre closes earlier than the Centre) that can be enjoyed by both kids and adults.
There is plenty of information, including easy-to-read text and lots of photos, as well as play spaces for the kids and various interactivities for the whole family. Catch the keeper talks at 11 am and 2 pm to hear more about koalas and their conservation.
Don’t forget to bring along a camera to take photos of these cuties!
