Overview

Calling all mini adventurers - Little Explorers' Days are back! Join them for two days packed with exciting activities designed for children aged 0-6 and their grown-up. ​

Enjoy science shows, sensory play, crafts, and hands-on activities designed to spark curiosity and creativity in your little scientists. From roaring dinosaur adventures
and tinkering with light and shadows to bush animal weaving, STEM play, and hands-on sensory play – there is something for every little scientist!​

Unravel the mysteries of prehistoric creatures during the interactive roaring dinosaur adventure show. ​

Get hands-on in The Shed, experimenting with light and shadows while building and tinkering through play.​

Learn stories of culture and country while weaving an Australian bush animal inspired by Tjanpi weavers, in a workshop guided by artist Ronnie Jordan from Culture on the Move. ​

Dive into sensory-rich experiences with Tiny Teach and ACT Playgroups. Tiny Teach will also be hosting fun and lively music and movement sessions with singing, dancing, yoga and a bubble finale. ​
