Dragon Guardians
You would be forgiven for thinking the emergence of a dragon sounds like a plot in a movie. However, the reality is far more magical for Zoos Victoria, and we want you to be part of the journey with a Dragon Guardians membership.
After 54 years of being unseen, the Victorian Grassland Earless Dragon, a Critically Endangered species, was rediscovered in 2023. Zoos Victoria is now working to save this species, and you can support with the new child membership: Dragon Guardians.
Priced at just $88 a year, this membership is perfect for kids aged 15 and under who share a passion for dragons - whether mythical or Critically Endangered - or those celebrating the Year of the Dragon.
Become a member today and join us on this exciting dragon journey.
