Schools at Port Stephens
The most interactive learning experience
Excursions where students observe, question, feed, touch and interact with animals in a safe, fully enclosed, all-weather environment.
Port Stephens Animal Adventures gives teachers a rare opportunity to combine learning with a genuinely unforgettable student experience. Students can observe, question, feed, touch and interact with animals in a safe, fully enclosed, all-weather environment. Helping them build confidence, curiosity, communication skills, scientific thinking and a deeper respect for wildlife.
What students explore
Our excursions connect directly with science, biology, geography, sustainability, environmental education and personal development outcomes. Students explore habitats, ecosystems, biodiversity, animal adaptations, conservation, wildlife rescue, human impact, confidence, communication and respect for living things through safe, hands-on animal encounters.
A visit that fits your class
Rather than a rigid excursion, students can move through the attraction at their own pace and spend time in the areas that capture their interest. Throughout the visit, our staff provide close-up snake, lizard and tortoise encounters, answer questions and share engaging knowledge about our sharks, rays, crocodiles and aquatic animals.
