Join our experienced Educators for a fascinating and surprising 1.5-hour spotlight walk. See how Centennial Park transforms when the sun sets and spot animals at dusk.

The Park is home to a variety of nocturnal creatures, from brushtail possums, microbats and tawny frogmouths, to one of Sydney’s largest colonies of grey-headed flying-foxes.

This program is suitable for families with children aged from 5 years. All children must be supervised by an adult.

Meeting point – Robertson Road Gates.
