Kids can explore Cardboard City, a hands-on craft zone where they can build houses, schools, cars – or anything their imagination dreams up. Creations can be taken home or added to the park’s ever-growing city.

Each day also features movement-focused activities, from hip hop dance with Mad Dance House to Touch Football Skills with Billy’s Buddies and AFL Fun with Physi Kids. Bookings are not required for the free program – just turn up and play!

For families looking to add a little extra, low-cost bookable workshops are available for $12 per child. In the first week, kids can get hands-on in Meet the Bees with Bee One Third, learning about the buzzing friends who help gardens thrive.

The second week features The Great Bug Hotel Build in partnership with Yates Australia, where children tour the Children’s Garden, discover why beneficial bugs are the unsung heroes of the garden, and create their very own bug hotel to take home.
