Book Us Now
At Wild Action, we believe that education is the key to conservation. Established in 1994, we have been at the forefront of providing educational animal visits to schools across Melbourne. Our engaging animal presentations for schools are designed to inspire and educate students about the fascinating world of wildlife, showcasing a variety of animals to visit schools.

What to Expect from Our Incursions

With our school incursions in Melbourne, animals visit schools for an exciting and interactive experience in your classroom. In a one-hour animal education program, students will have the opportunity to touch and hold various species, including mammals, reptiles, birds, and insects. This hands-on approach captivates their attention and reinforces their understanding of biological classifications, habitats, and the importance of conservation.

Our highly qualified team consists of tertiary-educated biologists who are passionate about wildlife and committed to creating a memorable experience. Each presentation is tailored to fit your curriculum goals, making it an excellent choice for teachers looking to incorporate engaging wildlife activities for students into their lesson plans.
