Let the kids go WILD at Perth Town Hall!
If your kids love all things scaly, slimy, feathery and furry – Perth Town Hall is the place to be this school holidays.
We had so much fun at the show we went twice! Here are our 10 favourite reasons to visit.
1. Get a photo with a lizard on your head or a snake around your shoulders to show your friends when you go back to school.
2. Prepare to get your hands wet in the touch pool where you can hold a star fish or touch the shovelnose ray as he swims by.
3. Don’t put your hands in the other pool where Speedy the turtle and his marron friends are hiding amongst the rocks and reeds.
4. Can you hear the ocean in the sea shell collection?
Look up close at the tiny sea urchins through the maginfying glass, feel the differences in each of the shells and discover what creatures lived in them.
5. Take a look through the microscope and see the stinger of a paper wasp up close!
There are lots of other bugs to see too including some still moving.
6. Trap door spider homes are hard to spot in the wild but here you will be able to see the whole chamber that they live in.
7. If creepy crawlies give you the creeps visit the wildflower display with a range of flowers from across the state.
You can also make a bookmark at the craft table in this section.
8. Read all about how the WA Naturalists’ Club started and what they do.
You can even sign up to become a Junior Naturalist.
9. Make sure you plan your visit around the Critters Up Close presentations where you can meet native animals like a blue tongue lizard, possum, snakes, bearded dragon and more!
These are held from 11am-12pm and 2pm-3.30pm daily (except 11/7 and 13/7).
10. A special Western Swamp Tortoise event will be held on Wednesday 13 July from 10am – 12pm to commemorate the legacy of Wild Life Shows held at Perth Town Hall, with Robert Boyd who collected Swamp Tortoise as a school boy.
He will be reunited with the specimen he gave the WA Museum and a live speciman from the Perth Zoo.
The Wild Life Show runs daily until Wednesday 20 July from 9.30am – 4.30pm daily and is free to attend.
