Overview

Did you know that the National Arboretum Canberra is home to some of the oldest species of trees on earth!

In collaboration with the Canberra and Region Heritage Festival, come along for a morning of walking, crafting and discovery. Your child will be guided on a walk of wonder through these living fossils, then create their very own botanical fossil, before finishing the session exploring the fossils hidden in the new National Rock Garden.
This workshop offers an inspiring blend of geology, art, and nature, a perfect outdoor experience for discovering secrets of the past. Suitable for ages 7-12.

This event can be accessed by an assisted wheelchair. Paths are sealed, with a Grade 1 (slight) gradient. Please contact the Visitor Services Information desk to learn more.
