Kids are very welcome to ride bikes and scooters on the garden paths, or play games on the heritage lawn.
They might want to climb up the birdcage tree house in the children’s playground too, or play on the viking swing! Don't miss a chance to get a bird ID sheet from the Visitor and Event Centre and tick off the birds they see OR they might want to find the five dinosaurs in the Cycad Garden!
