We've got something for every young explorer:
Plus many more sessions including Wild Rescue, Waterbug Wonderland, Nature Journaling and more.
You can also catch us at TMAG Lift Off! Kids Festival (all ages) – Bush Adventures pop‑up activities between 1-3 pm on Saturday Saturday 18 and Sunday 19 April.
Our program is designed to spark children's natural curiosity about Hobarts Bushland Reserves and inspire a deeper appreciation and care for the world around them.
Activities are small group, hands on and led by experienced and enthusiastic educators dedicated to helping your family learn about and connect with Hobarts wild heart.
Some walks include steep and rough tracks, so if you’re unsure whether a session is right for your child or family, please get in touch and we can talk it through.
If an activity has a specific age group listed, younger and older siblings can join at no cost, with the understanding that the delivery level may not be fully suited to their level of experience. If in doubt reach out.
