Little ones are invited to bring their teddy, wombat, giraffe, cat, dog, gorilla or any teddy they love for a vet check these holidays. Teddies are precious and they deserve lots of love, care and special attention, just like the wildlife.

During the Spring school holidays, kids are invited to meet the Zoos' special Teddy Check Teams and find out about the care Zoo animals receive too!

Amanda's son's teddy 'Panda' had his heart, hearing, eyes and general health checked for any problems and was cuddles approved once his arm was bandaged.

Every teddy will get a full health check these holidays at all 3 Victorian Zoos and receive a teddy health check certificate once complete.
