Have a whale of a time with the South Australian Museum July school holiday program!
SeaStar Rock | Wednesday 13 July
It’s a giant party when the SeaStar Rock team hit the stage! Kids will sing, dance and play games with the SeaStar Rockers as they help navigate sustainability of our oceans. This performance, delivered by LER Productions, brings to life the characters of the SeaStar Rock album. Kids will cha cha with Chino Crabclaw, tap dance with Terrance Turtle, and ride the waves with Surfing Snapping Starfish as he saves the seas from plastic bag monsters. Join us as we bop with Big Blue Bopping Whale at the underwater fish cafe and do the shark grin shake with Harriet Hammer Shark.
