Who lives in the Gardens? Explore the different habitats of creatures big and small during a facilitated walk with a ranger.

Discover what makes each habitat a successful home for a range of Aussie animals.

Play with creatures made out of natural materials to investigate what different animals need from their environment.

You can also take a pack of natural materials away to make your own creatures back at school.
