- Colour in our wildlife fact sheets or complete a wordsearch.
- Contribute to our collabrative nature mandala.
- Pick up a Trick-or-Tree Trail map, which will lead you to different trees around the park where you can learn more about wildlife. Bring your map back with items ticked off to claim a treat.
Activities are suitable for a range of ages. All children MUST be accompanied by an adult.You do not need to be a child to attend - adults are welcome to come in and get involved too! You can come and go as you please, but if you book a free ticket it’d really help us to get an idea of numbers so we know how many materials to bring along.
We are also hosting a folklore walk for bigger kids (aged 12+) and adults at 3:45pm - book your free ticket for that here.
