Welcome to Animal Antics—a roving performance where the wild side of the park comes to life! Take a stroll through Callan Park and meet the animals who call this green space home. From kookaburras showing off their laughing flair and bees with stinky feet, to sunbaking batty bats and possums leaving mysterious tree-marked messages. 

Over the hour, playful performers will lead you on a journey where storytelling and nature go hand in hand. This is no ordinary walk in the park—it’s an adventure where science and silliness meet, perfect for curious kids.

Presented by the Eaton Gorge Theatre Company.  

This program is suitable for children aged 4 – 10 years.
