Celebrate National Science Week at Healesville Sanctuary with Race Around the Zoo, an exciting team challenge that puts your observation, problem-solving and science skills to the test.

Work together to complete the Threatened Species Mission as you navigate the sanctuary, tackle interactive challenges and come face to face with some of Australia's most endangered wildlife.

Success isn't about speed, it's about teamwork, communication and keen observation.

Along the way, you'll discover why threatened species are at risk of disappearing and explore how we can protect their habitats to help them thrive. It's a fun and engaging way to celebrate National Science Week while becoming a champion for wildlife.

Places are limited to 50 participants, so book now to avoid missing out.
