Buzz about Bees: Cottage Quest
Entertain the kids these holidays with a bee-themed challenge at Cooks' Cottage in the heritage-listed Fitzroy Gardens.
Starting off at the Fitzroy Gardens Visitor Centre, kids will collect an activity booklet and then visit Cooks' Cottage. They will embark on a fun-filled journey through nature, learning all about the incredible world of bees – one clue at a time.
As they explore, they’ll discover fascinating facts about bees, their vital role in nature, and how they help flowers, trees, and even our food grow.
Return to the Visitor Centre to collect a prize on completion.
Suitable for primary school-aged children, but adult assistance is necessary.
Price includes admission to Cooks' Cottage, accompanying adults receive a reduced admission price.
