Explore the Wildlife - Free School Holiday Fun and An Animal Fun Prize Pack Giveaway #SLHFeaturedThursdays

It's school holidays time once again and it's time to entertain the kids. Thank goodness for free holiday events...

Beginning on the 23rd of March at Watergardens Town Centre, is an amazing free exhibition for families - a wonderful world of exotic wildlife exhibition!

On display will be lions, tigers, zebras, gorillas, macaws and others and intriguingly, all the animals featured are life sized animatronics! Kids can get up close to their favourite animals and check out the fun without fear!

In addition to the fascinating animatronics display, the Watergardens Town Centre will be hosting an animal craft workshop where kids can let their creative juices run wild. Make an animal mask to take home. Take part in an animal cookie decorating workshop as well as the opportunity to have a photo taken with a panda.

If you're a resident of Melbourne, this free event is a must see these school holidays, so be sure to hop into Watergardens to participate in all the fun. The exhibition runs daily until Sunday the 19th of April. Check the website for specific session times and full details of additional activities.
