Bugs, bugs everywhere!

Let's get hunting! It's all about bugs these school holidays!

Join us as we search high and low for land-dwelling invertebrates. We’ll dip-net for water bugs in the pond and make our own take-home bugs from clay and collected natural materials. This will be great day out amongst the beauty of the Botanic Garden.

Recommended for children aged 5–12 years with an accompanying adult.
