Holiday Program: All About Trilobites (AM session)

Come and explore the world of trilobites — amazing ancient sea creatures that lived well before the dinosaurs!

Using 3D printed trilobite pieces, you can build your own fossil models while learning how scientists study prehistoric life.

The activity combines hands-on learning, fossils, and a little engineering to bring ancient animals to life in a fun and interactive way.

PLEASE NOTE:All tickets are $6 per person. This workshop is best suited to children aged 5 - 12 years. Children must be accompanied by a fee-paying parent or guardian, who is expected to remain for the duration of the session. Bookings are required for all attendees.
