Animal Antics

Welcome to Animal Antics - a roving performance where the wild side of the city comes to life!

Take a stroll through Wollongong Botanic Garden and meet the animals who call this green space home. From kookaburras with their laughing flair, to bees with stinky feet, to batty bats and possums leaving mysterious tree-marked messages, every step brings a new discovery.

Over the course of an hour, playful performers will lead you on a curious journey where storytelling and nature go hand in hand. This is no ordinary walk in the park - it’s an adventure where science and silliness meet, perfect for curious kids and playful grown-ups.

Come along and uncover the secrets of the critters that live right under our noses, reminding us that even in the middle of the city, nature is never far away.
