Splish Splash Science

Join ringmaster Rip Tide for a wet and wild science circus experience where the star of the show is water! Splish Splash Science will have you singing, dancing, laughing, gasping and ducking for cover as he expertly explores and experiments with the exciting properties of this exceptional chemical.

The Farmy Farm
4 - 9 October 2025
From $29

It’s The Castle meets Babe at Legend Farms, where Kenny & Jenny are getting their jobs done with a tractor-load of circus and farming tomfoolery. The Farmy Farm is full of jaw-dropping acrobatics on tall towers of hay, giant juggling carrots, fair dinkum high-flying farmers and loads of laughs for everyone!

I See You Like This
7 - 9 October 2025

Let your child unleash their imagination using your face as their canvas!  I See You Like This allows children to perceive their parents as subjects and to observe and portray them in a new way. Each child artist chooses an object that best represents this adult subject before art directing a creative portrait directly onto their face!
