The rainforest is a vibrant, fascinating world —teeming with life, mystery, and wisdom. For those who take the time to observe, the forest reveals its secrets through subtle signs and rhythms. This exhibition invites you to slow your footsteps, open your senses and let the rainforest guide your discoveries.
Visitors can explore interactive displays, learn fascinating facts about the rainforest ecosystem, and pick up tips on how to connect with nature.
The exhibition is open daily from 9:30am to 3:30pm (excluding public holidays) throughout the year. It is a perfect activity for all ages and an ideal way for families to spend some time in nature.
Experience the rainforest through sight, touch, smell, and sound
Become a citizen scientist with a forest explorer kit. It’s packed with binoculars, a magnifying glass, a mini microscope and a recording clipboard to help uncover and record the rainforest’s hidden wonders.
Use your sense of touch to explore the tactile wall, where a variety of bark, seeds and leaves showcase the rich textures of the forest.
Take some time to slow down and find calm with a mindfulness kit that includes a soft cushion, a nature journal with pencils and sketch paper, and prompt cards offering gentle activities like guided listening to help you relax and tune into the sounds of nature.
Then follow your nose at the smell station, where distinctive scents reveal clues to species such as the blackish-blind snake, celerywood and short-eared possum, because smell is a great clue to what’s hiding in the undergrowth.
