Can I bring my children?
From 9:30am to 10:30am this session will be run as a teacher only event in the Learning Lab Studio.
If you would like your children to visit Victoria the T. rex exhibition and IMAX documentary with you, please ensure you book tickets to the following:
- Wednesday July 3rd, 10.30am Victoria the T.rex exhibition
- Wednesday July 3rd, 11.50am T. rex 3D IMAX documentary
Please book your children’s tickets well in advance, as it is Winter School holidays and we expect the exhibition will book out.
