Wild Action was Established in 1994. The Company was created by zoologist Chris Humfrey to satiate his personal desire to educate people about the amazing biodiversity in Australia. Chris was particularly keen on creating interactive ’hands-on’ incursions which captivated and inspired children. Humfrey always had a wonderment for nature, and it always amazed him that others didn't always share his passion for the beauty and magic of the Natural World.

Twenty one years later, Wild Action Zoo is now a state of the art private zoological facility in the Macedon Ranges, and operates the only 'truly' mobile zoo in the State of Victoria. The Wild Action Zoo Team breed many rare and endangered species. 

Wild Action employs a Team 10 full-time staff members, and our award winning Company educates well over 250,000 school children a year....on all things Wild!

Ultimately, it is Wild Action's  goal to inspire people to develop an interest and empathy in all things ‘WILD’, by delivering responsible, sustainable and educational wildlife encounters.

Wild Action shows do make a difference!

I found the Junior Zoo Keeper trip VERY intriguing! It was also a good chance to learn new things! It’s also a good chance to meet new people and get to hold animals that I never thought I would hold!

No matter how many times Max participates in the Junior Zoo keeper experience he always has the most amazing day. He gets in the car retelling every highlight without taking a breath, ensuring we learn every new detail that the Wild Action team have imparted and then promptly falls asleep, exhausted for the rest of the car ride home. A day out in the fresh country air surrounded by other like minded people, soaking up all manner of incredibly interesting animal info & finally topped off with incredible photos so the adults get to enjoy some of the awesomeness for themselves. Thank you Wild Action Team, you know you’re stuck with this kid for life, he loves what you all do…until next time!
