Autumn is very busy for the wildlife in the Botanic Garden and to celebrate we are giving out special Autumn Animals cards to all our young visitors.  Pick up a free card from the ticket office and go on a hunt for fallen autumn treasures to decorate your animal.  A total of six animal cards will be available, with a new card being released every week from the 17th October.  Activity runs until the end of November.

Please note, all children must be accompanied. Standard admission charges apply for adults.  Children under 16 years free.

Come and learn about the journey of fossil pollen grains and how they can teach us about changes in past vegetation and climate. We will explore their amazing shapes by looking down the microscope, learn about different types and which plants produce them and finally make some ourselves!

Choose something in the Museum to draw and we can add your drawing to our 'Wall of Fame' which will be published on our social media after half term. If you are stuck for inspiration, why not have a go at one of our challenge cards?
