Charlie D's 'Don’t forget the teeny weeny, itty-bitty creepy crawlies!'

Adelaide Botanic Garden | 50 mins | $15 | Ages 7+

Come and discover the teeny weeny, itty-bitty creepy crawlies at Adelaide Botanic Garden in a 50-minute tour these summer school holidays.

This interactive adventure features award-winning performer, Michael Mills, as a quirky and hilarious incarnation of naturalist Charles Darwin, aka Charlie D.

Look around you. What do you see? Now look again! What don’t you see?

You don’t see the small, the tiny, or the itty bitty creatures that make up most of the living things that inhabit the Earth. And not only do they inhabit it, they rule the world!

Come on a delightful journey into the world of the tiny with award winning writer performer Michael Mills as Charles Darwin, through the nooks and crannies of the Adelaide Botanic Garden.

In an interactive musical adventure amongst some of the world’s most delightful plants, it won’t be long before you realise that it’s the small things, after all, that matter!

Book your spot to join Charlie D and enjoy the Tiny Oz model exhibition and the beautiful Adelaide Botanic Garden in a way that you’ve not experienced before.
