A special family day out at Canberra Reptile Zoo
Defence and veteran families are invited to join us for a special morning at the Canberra Reptile Zoo, made possible through a new collaboration between Families of Veterans Guild and Soldier On. Bringing together the strengths of both organisations, this activity has been created to give defence and veteran families the opportunity to connect, spend time together, and enjoy a unique experience in a welcoming environment.
Taking place on Tuesday 14 April 2026, the visit will include a guided zoo tour and an exciting reptile show, giving families the chance to get up close with some fascinating animals. Facilitated by our Wellbeing Team alongside Soldier On, the morning is designed not only as a fun day out, but also as a space where families can meet others who share similar experiences and build supportive connections within the veteran family community.
