Term 1 - Splendiferous seashore

Be inspired by all things beach culture this summer- as you enjoy art making and experiments with your family.  

Get creative with a full day of beach-inspired making and experimenting. Design your own fun-glasses and papercraft goggles, craft hand-painted beach flags and whimsical windsocks, and turn summer safety slogans into eye-catching button badges.

Experiment with the science of seaweed bio-yarn, learn how to transform marine debris into new usable creations, and make a splash with water play in our outdoor area. Dress up as your favourite beach creature or wind down with a beachy book in our calm zone. 

Open Sundays during school term
11.15am – 3.15pm

Kids on deck is also open daily during School Holidays. 

Ages 4-14 and adults
Entry included in any paid admission. Members and annual pass holders FREE. 
Drop-in, no bookings required
