Nature Play – Busy Bees and Butterflies

Let’s learn about the bees and butterflies that call the Wildflower Garden home.

Our Nature Play programs offer weekly nature-themed activities, designed to develop curious minds and playful spirits. Sessions run from 10am – 11.30am. They involve a fun morning of play-based investigation and discovery in nature led by our experienced Environmental Ranger.

Activities cost $20 per child with one parent/carer admitted free of charge. Bookings are essential as spaces are limited. For more information visit our Nature Play page.

Benefits of Nature Play

Nature play significantly improves all aspects of early childhood development – physical, cognitive, social and emotional. Playing outdoors in nature grows resilience, self-confidence, initiative and gross-motor skills.
