About this Event
Big and Tiny, Near and Far Trail
Adelaide Botanic Garden | 75 mins | $9 | Ages 7+
Adventure through tiny and big, and see things near and far as we pull out microscopes, magnifying glass and binoculars on a journey from the tiniest to some of the largest members of our botanical collections! Starting with the Tiny Adelaide Botanic Garden model, we will see some amazing seeds under the microscope, before a walk through Adelaide Botanic Garden with one of our botanical educators, learning about flowers, (including the giant Corpse Flower!) and seeing the Grey-Headed Flying Fox colony, and helping to spot pollinators in the garden.
Please note that this event is suitable for children aged seven years and above. All children must be accompanied by an adult (no cost for the adult minders!)
Please arrive 10 minutes early to check in.
