This year’s expanded program starts at 10am with the popular Easter egg hunt (until 11am) where children can collect a token to exchange for Easter Eggs; the Symbio Mobile Wildlife Zoo from 10.30am–12.30pm; the Discovery Centre theatre show at 11.30am; children's fun entertainment and activities presented by The Garden’s Ranger party experts, Dragonfly Parties, and Wollongong Botanic Garden’s Discovery Centre.

Families are encouraged to visit the Rotary barbecue, buy an egg and bacon roll or a sausage sizzle, an ice-cream or ice block.  Mums and dads can also enjoy a coffee. 

Bring the picnic gear, enjoy the beauty of the Garden, then finish off the morning with some jazz tunes from students of the Conservatorium of Music.

The Family Fun Day is made possible by the staff of the Wollongong Botanic Garden, the Friends of the Wollongong Botanic Garden, Dragonfly Parties, Illawarra Mercury, i98FM; BlueScope WIN Community Partners and Peoplecare.  The local support has been strong and, weather permitting, we all are looking forward to a action-packed day of fun.

This is a Rotary fund-raising opportunity to support and sponsor local youth to attend the many youth programs Rotary offers and local Rotary projects.

Entry if free for all – families are invited to attend for a great day of fun events and food, especially for children.
