Aussie Ark shares wildlife conservation experiences during Summer School Holidays

For the third consecutive year, conservation organisation Aussie Ark is welcoming the general public during the Summer School Holidays to experience the work and passion for wildlife conservation.  

While the conservation facility already runs small private tours each month, Aussie Ark hopes that by opening its doors for the school holidays, its team can encourage more people to join their conservation crusade.

From 1st January to 2nd February 2021, visitors will have the opportunity to meet some of Australia’s most endangered species

Aussie Ark President, Tim Faulkner advises “open days are the perfect opportunity for our supporters to experience the conservation work that our team is doing every single day. I believe it is so important to show our supporters exactly what it is we do at Aussie Ark.

“Open days constitute a lot of work but it is so worth it! It is precious for our staff to be part of people’s journey to connect or reconnect with nature."

While on the tour, it has been guaranteed that visitors will see and encounter Tasmanian devils in their wild enclosures and get up close to Eastern quolls. Encounters with joey animals are available and are perfect for all ages.

Opening hours are from 10am – 2pm every day with tours of the facility running at 10.30am, 11.30am and 12.30pm.

Ticket prices are $35 per adult, $15 per child and $90 for a family to visit Aussie Ark during the school holidays. Tickets will be available at the door or online via Eventbrite
