These summer school holidays, Royal Botanic Gardens Victoria is hosting a range of free and paid events to entertain and encourage children to play, connect, and learn in nature.
Nature Play
For children who enjoy getting creative, crafty, and messy, Royal Botanic Gardens Cranbourne is hosting Nature Play: free family-friendly, nature-based activities from 23 January to 25 January. Under the shade of the eucalypts in the Kids’ Backyard, Learning Facilitators will teach children about the different plants and animals that call the Australian environment and our Gardens home through a range of nature-inspired play activities.
Kid’s Explorer Bus
At both Royal Botanic Gardens Melbourne and Royal Botanic Gardens Cranbourne during these school holidays, children can ride free on the Kid’s Explorer Bus. This is a 30-minute tour designed especially for families where children and their loved ones will experience the sights, sounds, and scents of the Gardens, and learn why plants are so important for our planet.
