Activity description

Our microscopy sessions are back! This time, we invite you to take a close-up look at butterflies and learn about what makes them so special. We will also explore some of their favourite foods, all under the microscope. Drop in between 11 am and 12 pm or 2 to 3 pm. Outside of these slots, you are welcome to enjoy our self-led children's trail and quiz at your leisure, in the park. Sessions are free, no booking required. Children must be accompanied by adults at all times; younger children may require more support from their adults.
