Are you looking for an engaging and educational activity to spark your child's imagination these winter holidays? Join us for an interactive workshop that combines history with hands-on fun!

Inspired by our latest exhibition, Camel trains to steel wheels: life on the Trans-Australian Railway, we'll journey back in time to explore how the circus travelled by rail from Port Augusta to Kalgoorlie!

After exploring this fascinating history, your child can shine by unleashing their inner circus performer and creating juggling balls, hula hoops, and more!

This school holiday program is suitable for ages 7 to 12. Please note that all children must be accompanied by an adult.

We ensure a safe and enjoyable experience, following the Commonwealth Child Safe Framework.
