Park Rangers - Springtime Safari - Western Sydney Parklands - Spring 2024

If your child loves exploring, creating, and discovering, then this fun day is perfect for them! 

Join our Educators on a nature discovery walk where children will learn about the park’s creatures, looking for nests, holes, burrows, and hidden animal habits. 

They will also learn the art of making cordage and build their own insect hotel, helping our local ecosystem and becoming familiar with spring plants.  

This program offers two hours of creative, hands-on activities and exploration, with some time for free play. Perfect for children who love nature and adventure. 

This program is suitable for children aged 5 – 12 years.
