Due to popular demand we’ve added an extra date! Book in for Wednesday 25th January 2023 now!

The Animal Carer Experience (ACE) is a fantastic opportunity for kids and teens aged 8-16 to experience a taste of life as a Marine Animal Carer during school holidays in Coffs Harbour. They will help feed and care for the marine wildlife in our park and our specialised marine animal rescue & rehabilitation facility. Be warned, children will come home smelling fishy but happy!  

This is an original gift idea for an aspiring marine animal care professional!

ACE runs with a minimum of 6 and up to a maximum of 10 children on Wednesdays throughout the school holidays. 

Kids will experience:

• VIP Seating at our main “Dolphin Dreamtime & Sea Lions Live” presentation
• VIP Tour of Dolphin Marine Conservation Park
• Feeding and caring for sick and injured sea turtles
• Splashes by our fish, rays, and sharks
• Freshwater turtles up close
• Providing enrichment for our Little Blue Penguins
• Interacting with our Australian Sea Lions and their favourite toys
• Watching our dolphins interact with their environment
• Lunch at our Creekside Cafe
• Receive an email link/voucher for 1 Digital photo to redeem online (additional photos are available to purchase)
• Personalised Participation Certificate

What to Bring:

• Enclosed footwear
• Hat and sunscreen
• Camera/phone – your child can take photos to record a personal memento of their experience

When: Wednesdays 10:30 am – 1.30 pm to Wednesday 25th January 2023. Bookings essential.
