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

Where: Meet at Bowden Theatre, Mount Annan Botanic Garden

When: Autumn School Holidays 2025

Cost: $25 per participating child | $23 per participating child for Foundation and Friends members | Parents must accompany children on this program
