Reptiles at The Chocolaterie
The Surf Coast is home to an incredible variety of wildlife — and that includes some pretty amazing reptiles!
From snakes and lizards to other fascinating scaly creatures, reptiles play an important role in our local environment. So, this Reptile Awareness Week, we’re celebrating these often-misunderstood animals and helping our little wildlife lovers learn more about them.
Meet the Reptiles (& Friends)
The wonderful team from Wildlife Exposure will be at The Chocolateries Great Ocean Road from 4pm on Thursday 22 October for an up close and personal reptile meet and greet!
The Wildlife Exposure team will introduce children to some fascinating reptile ambassadors (and a few other special friends), sharing fun facts and helping kids discover more about these incredible animals, their important role in our ecosystem and why protecting and appreciating our native wildlife matters.
Thursday 22 October
4pm – 5pm
Booking options: Reptile Education Session $15 per child (+booking fee) OR Reptile Education Session PLUS Chocolate Wildlife Show Bag $30 per child (+booking fee).
Bookings are essential & places are limited.
