“Spring (is) the perfect time to catch a cute sight of the downy ducklings and their feathered friends wandering around the water hole in the ‘Downy ducklings’ activity.”

“Children aged four to seven will listen to the duckling family’s story and make their own duckling designed craft to take home at the end of the day.”

‘`Downy ducklings’ runs from 10am to 11.30 am on Thursday, October 5.
