Visiting Perth Zoo

When I arrive at the Perth Zoo, I will see the entrance. I line up at the

entrance to buy a ticket, or show the person at the front my ticket to let

me in.

Sometimes there is a line up to get into the zoo, this is okay because it

won’t take very long for it to be my turn to walk in.

There are lots of staff who work at the zoo. The staff wear green shirts and

can help me if I need it. The staff can also answer questions about the

animals.

When I walk in, I can ask the zoo staff for a map of the zoo so I know

where to find all of the animals.

The map also shows where the toilets are.

At the zoo there are lots of animals.

Some animals are big. The big animals walk around behind fences.

Some animals are small. The small animals are kept in their special

homes. I will know I’m safe from the animals if I stand behind their fence

or glass wall.

Sometimes the zoo keepers bring the animals out of their cage to show

people. I can ask the zoo keeper if I can touch the animals.

Some animals don’t like to be touched, so I can try to remember to ask

the zoo keeper before touching them.

When I go to the zoo, I can walk around and see all of the animals.

The zoo is very big so it’s important to try and stay with the people who

brought me to the zoo.

Sometimes the zoo can be busy or loud, but there are quiet places I can

go. I can ask the zoo staff where the closest quiet area is.

When I’m at the zoo I might want to eat. I can bring some food from

home. There is also a cafe to buy food.

There is also a shop at the zoo. I can go inside for a look. I might also buy

something, but I don’t have to.

When it’s time to leave, I’ll try to remember to take all of my things home

with me. Everyone at the Perth Zoo hopes I enjoy my day at the zoo!
