We believe we've got a responsibility to give back to our local communities. Every year we're helping set up and support thousands of educational, environmental and sporting and charitable programs to help a wide range of people and communities on a local, regional, state and national level.
Perth Zoo Competition
McDonald’s has partnered with The Perth Zoo to offer WA children the chance to win a night at the zoo. One lucky group of children will have the opportunity to learn about conservation in a unique environment, while discovering The Perth Zoo after dark. Your child’s class or brownie/ scout/ guide group could be bedding down for the night surrounded by Zoo animals, waking to the roar of the Samatran Tigers and experiencing the morning chorus of birds, gibbons and elephants.
