Zoo on the Move at Vaucluse House 2022

Did you know that the grounds of Vaucluse House almost became a zoo? This January, imagine what could have been if the animals took up residence.

Spot the playful animal illustrations, go wild and get creative at the activity hub, and try to identify the animal sounds in the pleasure garden. Plus, book into a Zoo Talk with Taronga Zoo or join the Procession of the Animals in Erth's Marvellous Menagerie puppetry workshop.
