Reptilia’s Junior Keeper Program
Reptilia’s Junior Keeper Program is a one-of-a-kind opportunity for kids aged 7–14 to step into the shoes of a real Zookeeper and discover what it’s like to work in a world-class reptile facility.
Junior Keepers will dive into the biology, ecology, and diversity of reptiles and amphibians, learning where these animals come from, how they survive in the wild, and the important role they play in our ecosystems. Beyond science, participants gain hands-on experience in animal husbandry, record keeping, and daily zoo operations, building responsibility and confidence along the way.
- Guided by Reptilia’s knowledgeable and passionate zookeepers, participants will:
- Interact with reptiles, amphibians, spiders, and more in a safe, supervised environment.
- Learn how to properly feed, clean, and care for animals in our state-of-the-art zoo.
- Explore the many skills required to become a professional zookeeper, from animal care to conservation awareness.
- Experience a program that is dynamic and ever-changing, ensuring there’s always something new to discover.
The Junior Keeper Program runs every Saturday and Sunday from 10 AM to 2 PM. Whether your child joins for just one day or returns week after week, each session offers exciting new opportunities, interactive lessons, and unforgettable experiences.
Give your child the chance to learn, explore, and grow while creating lifelong memories at Canada’s ultimate Reptile Zoo.
