Geckoes Wildlife are bringing some of their fascinating native animals to meet you



Suitable for children of all ages, Meet the Animals Holiday Program is an exciting and interactive wildlife presentation with expert handler Martin Fingland from Geckoes Wildlife. Children of all ages will delight in meeting the most fascinating native animals, including Bumpy, a very special Southern hairy-nosed wombat.



Through fun and engaging storytelling, Martin will introduce young nature lovers to our local wildlife and the places they belong.
Holiday Program: Meet the Animals is more than just a wildlife show, it’s a celebration of conservation, curiosity and our more than human world.

All children must be accompanied by a caregiver who is required to stay, but does not need a ticket.



This event is part of Save the Koala Month at the Arts and Ecology Centre at the Maroochy Regional Bushland Botanic Garden. Visit the Clinging to Hope display weekdays between 9th and 24th September to learn more about koala conservation in our region.



Please Note: The Meet the Animals Holiday Program ($5 per child) is running on the same day as the FREE Holiday Program: Bear to the Rescue , but slightly later in the morning.

Proudly supported by Sunshine Coast Council's Environmental Visitor Centres.

Date and time : Wednesday 24th September 10.00am to 11.30am
Location: Maroochy Regional Bushland Botanic Garden, Palm Creek Road, Tanawha
TICKETS ONLY $5 - PLEASE ORGANISE YOUR TICKETS ONLINE HERE.
