Spring School Holidays are Sorted! (26th September to 11th October)

🌊 SPRING SCHOOL HOLIDAYS SORTED 🌊

This school holidays, don’t just drop the kids off somewhere… drop them into a world of underwater wonder!
From 26 September – 11 October, Dolphin Discovery Centre is bringing back Become a Marine Biologist for the Day; a series of hands-on, STEM-based experiences designed to get kids curious about the ocean, wildlife and conservation.
And the best part for parents/carers? These are drop-and-go programs. 🙌
While you enjoy a few hours to yourself, your kids can:
🐢 Get behind the scenes at our JBS&G Turtle Rehabilitation Centre
🥚 Excavate turtle eggs and discover how hatchlings make their way into the world
🐬 Learn how to respond to a stranded dolphin – with a legit cetacean stranding vehicle!
🪸 Learn how to propagate coral
⭐ Touch and explore marine creatures like starfish, sea cucumbers and anenomes
🐍 Get up close with our incredibly popular reptile program (these sell out fast!)
🐙 Get splashed by our cheeky octopus, Inky
🐠 Be there for a main tank feeding – watch sharks, fish, crustaceans and a moray eel called Reginald.
And when the program is finished, participants can continue exploring the Marine Discovery Centre!
With programs for ages from 6years and above, tweens, teens and adults, there’s something for curious little ocean lovers, budding scientists and anyone who simply thinks animals are awesome.
🌊 Real animals. Real conservation. Real science. Real adventure.
📅 26 September – 11 October
🎟️ Places are limited and programs vary in age and price.
