Tiny Tours: Ant to Apple

Get ready to explore the incredible world of insects and uncover how these little legends help put food on your plate. On this fun-filled tour, young adventurers will discover how ants, bees, and other bugs are behind so much of what we eat — from crunchy apples to juicy tomatoes — and how they help keep our ecosystems buzzing with life.

With hands-on activities and stops at the Forest Gallery, Gandel Gondwana Garden, and the Bugs Alive! exhibition, kids will come away with a newfound appreciation for nature’s smallest but mightiest workers. It’s interactive, educational, and a whole lot of fun.

Families will journey through museum favourites including 600 Million Years, Dinosaur Walk, and Triceratops: Fate of the Dinosaurs — discovering how nature’s small wonders help piece together the prehistoric puzzle.
