Nature Play - Diary of a Wombat

Next date: Tuesday, 02 December 2025 | 10:00 AM to 11:30 AM

Let’s learn about the busy and demanding life of a wombat.

Our Nature Play programs offer weekly nature-themed activities, designed to develop curious minds and playful spirits. Sessions run from 10.00am - 11.30am. They involve a fun morning of play-based investigation and discovery in nature led by our experienced Environmental Ranger.

Activities cost $20 per child with one parent/carer admitted free of charge.

Benefits of Nature Play

Nature play significantly improves all aspects of early childhood development – physical, cognitive, social and emotional. Playing outdoors in nature grows resilience, self-confidence, initiative and gross-motor skills.
