Play your way to being a Junior Ranger.
Your child will enjoy a wild adventure as Queensland Parks and Wildlife Service and National Parks Association of Queensland team up to deliver this Parks Connect program!
Hosted from within some of South East Queensland’s favourite national parks and reserves or from the QPWS Gateway Visitor Centres – David Fleay Wildlife Park (Burleigh Heads) and Walkabout Creek Discovery Centre (Enoggera) – these fantastic Junior Ranger events teach kids all about Queensland’s unique wildlife and introduce them to some of the tasks performed by our dedicated Park Rangers. Encourage your little ‘wild child’ to get outside, connect with nature, and care for our environment while enjoying fun, hands-on and creative activities.

Children are supervised at all times by staff who hold Blue Cards for working with children. All children must wear appropriate sun-safe clothing, sunscreen and a hat, and must bring a water bottle. Parents will be asked to review a safety briefing and sign a medical form and a media consent form upon booking. More T&C are included on the Eventbrite listing.
