The December school holidays are upon us and there is much to look forward to at the Montecasino Bird Gardens, where fun and learning never ends!
From 12 December 2011 to 06 January 2012 the Montecasino Bird Gardens will be running a special school holiday programme for children aged between seven and 12. At only R130 per child per day, which includes an action-packed day filled with fun activities, the Flight of Fantasy Bird Show, interactive tours, games and take home crafts, lunch, a cold drink and a yummy snack pack, it’s the perfect way to spend the holidays!
Themes such as Extreme Makeovers, where the little ones get to help renovate one of the animal enclosures, Crazy Constrictors, where they will learn how snakes capture and constrict their prey, and everyone’s favourite, Trainer for a Day, which allows children to experience the joys of working closely with some of the birds and animals housed in the Gardens, are just a taste of the many exciting adventures to be had at the Montecasino Bird Gardens.
Creative minds will be unleashed in week two of the holiday programme with Toys for All. Here kiddies are given all the material they need to make a fun food treat for one of the Bird Garden animals, while creating a toy pet to take home too. Rodent Rage is a lesson for the brave at heart where all who dare will get the chance to watch the dissection of a real rat and take a peek inside. Dancing Crane teaches everyone about South Africa’s national bird, the graceful and beautiful Blue Crane, while Water Wonders teaches all about the living wonders in ponds and streams.
Scaly Serpents will kick-start the New Year and will have children learning about how reptile senses differ from our own, while Mongoose Madness will enable the children to learn about the importance of doing enrichment activities with the animals, before make their own toys to challenge and entertain the mongooses.
The holiday programme will run weekdays from 08:30 to 14:30 daily, excluding public holidays, from 12 December to 23 December 2011 and again from 03 January until 06 January 2012. Bookings are essential as space is limited. To book call the Montecasino Bird Gardens on 011 511 1864.
