Spotlight Prowl (12 years +)

Join our expert educators for a captivating 1.5-hour spotlight prowl through Centennial Park, where the landscape transforms after dark. Experience the park’s nocturnal world in a quiet, immersive way, as you search for elusive wildlife in the stillness of dusk. 

The park is home to a wide range of fascinating creatures, from brushtail possums and microbats to tawny frogmouths and one of Sydney’s largest colonies of grey-headed flying foxes. 

This unique experience offers a chance to connect with nature and explore the park’s after-dark wonders in a peaceful and contemplative atmosphere. 

Meeting point: Robertson Road Gates
