So, get ready to mix up your days with essential ‘chilling time’ at home, rampaging around play parks and gardens, tracking down the treasure trails or pursuing the Easter bunny! Here’s a whole basketful of ideas for you to consider – and they don’t all include eating chocolate!
Wellington Country Park revs up for a cracking
Enjoy tours and music workshops in the spectacular rainforest!
The Living Rainforest is a great little find designed to be just like a real rainforest, it’s warm & humid but by no means uncomfortable. There are great plants with spectacular leaves and animals like tortoises, turtle, fish, Goeldi monkeys and even a sloth. Butterflies & lizards free range as do most of the birds. Over the Easter school holidays they will be going crazy about reptiles and amphibians (if you don’t love them now you will by the end of your visit). With free guided tours, music workshops, talks and crafts there is something for everyone. W:
