Junior Keeper at SEA LIFE Melbourne Aquarium

Have you ever wondered what it takes to be a professional animal keeper? Learn all about this coveted role these school holidays with SEA LIFE Melbourne Aquarium’s Junior Keeper activity.

Kids can listen to five fascinating keepers talk about their responsibilities as they journey through the amazing underwater world at the aquarium. As kids locate each keeper on screens placed throughout the aquarium, they can fill in their worksheet to create a comprehensive list of what’s involved in the day in the life of a keeper.

The Junior Keeper activity focuses on the team members who look after the sharks and rays in the 2.2 million litre Oceanarium, Pinjarra the 5.5-metre-long saltwater crocodile and the pulsing jellyfish in the Ocean Invaders zone. You’ll also be able to learn from the dedicated penguin keepers looking after the colony of King and Gentoo penguins and the team caring for the freshwater turtles, Murray Cod and water dragons in the Rainforest zone.
