Outdoor play in our nature space is a key part of our offer for pre-school and primary aged children, a winning combination of both play and learning where children are never bored and experience how amazing field trips and the wonderful outdoors can be.
Prices start from $25 per participant for a 120 minute nature play session with an activity booklet. A minimum spend of $650 applies to peak time slots.
