The greatest alternative to screen time!

Keep cool this summer – join our educators for a whole day of water fun away from the beach. Learn how to build a raft - will yours sink or float? Avoid the spray of the spitting archerfish and explore our ponds with some dip netting to understand the importance of these water sources for the future.

Who knew prepping for STEM classes in the holidays could be so fun!
