Join us for some (trilo)bite-sized fun as we explore the earliest animals on Earth that evolved millions of years before the dinosaurs.
Meet Lara Uttinger, a scientist researching this ancient world, from the Department of Earth Sciences, University of Cambridge. Chat with Lara about long-extinct animals unlike anything you might find today, and find fossil evidence of these animals in the Museum.
Investigate real fossils and use these to make your own trilobite replica fossil to take home.

Pick up this free summer trail from the Garden ticket offices and you’ll instantly become the newest pupil in bee school. The trail will take you on trip around the Botanic Garden to learn everything you need to know to be a bee.

Please note that all accompanying adults pay standard Garden admission on entry.
The Garden’s history has all mysteriously vanished from the trail map! Your challenge is to travel back in time to discover all the missing histories and make the map complete. Simply pick up a free trail map from a Garden entrance to start your adventure.
Admission charge applies for accompanying adults.
