Please note

• Children under 5 are welcome with an attending parent or carer.
• These tours run in all weather. The rainforest is the place to be in the rain, so come prepared.

Bring the kids to enjoy a ranger-guided tour of seasonally varied discovery, learning and play in the World Heritage-listed Gondwana rainforest at Dorrigo National Park. Parents or carers are welcome to join in, or enjoy some solo time in the rainforest.

This activity includes:

• fun nature games
• guided sensory rainforest exploration
• learning and hands-on activities.

All materials are provided and may include viewing pots, magnifying glasses, binoculars, reference books, drawing materials and modelling clay.

The theme of the day can be:

• exploring the hidden world of fungi
• discovering the secret lives of reptiles
• finding and identifying insects
• or learning the language of birds.

This tour encourages kids to be curious and to appreciate our environment.
