Have some fun in the sun in January’s School Holiday Program at the South Australian Museum.
Relax on crash mats on the Museum lawns, handle collection items, splash in our rock pools and enjoy hands-on exploration of creatures from the Permian.
To cool off, venture inside to check out the exhibition Life Before Dinosaurs: The Permian Monsters, sing and dance along to performances, and explore life in the past with a self-guided fossil trail.
