World Giraffe Day at the National Zoo and Aquarium

Overview

World Giraffe Day is on this weekend and to celebrate the occasion the National Zoo and Aquarium will be extending a 'looong' invitation to join them for a special Giraffe Keeper Talk and Giraffe Feed on Sunday 21/06 to raise funds for the Giraffe Conservation Fund.

All weekend long, young and budding zookeepers can participate in the colouring in competition and go in the running to meet a giraffe in real life!

There'll be lots of enrichment for the giraffes over the weekend aswell!

All the activities are free with admission and memberships.

There's so much fun to be had at the National Zoo and Aquarium, Canberra's 'Centre of Adventure'.
