Autumn is very busy for the wildlife in the Botanic Garden and to celebrate we are giving out special Autumn Animals cards to all our young visitors. Pick up a free card from the ticket office and go on a hunt for fallen autumn treasures to decorate your animal. A total of six animal cards will be available, with a new card being released every week from the 17th October. Activity runs until the end of November.
Please note, all children must be accompanied. Standard admission charges apply for adults. Children under 16 years free.
Zoology Live! 2020 - every day at 4pm from Monday 22 June to Friday 26 June and throughout the day on Saturday 27 June.
Come and learn about the journey of fossil pollen grains and how they can teach us about changes in past vegetation and climate. We will explore their amazing shapes by looking down the microscope, learn about different types and which plants produce them and finally make some ourselves!
Explore the animal kingdom with stories and play. The Museum of Zoology is the 'plaice' to learn about fishes and their friends. Suitable for children ages 2-5. Free. Booking recommended.

Visit our new Special Exhibition, which brings together much of Robert S. Whipple's founding donation to the University of Cambridge - a collection formed just as people were beginning to consider the significance of the history of science.
Family activities and party games will run from 1.30pm - 4pm in the Learning Gallery.
Can't make this one? We host at least three Open Saturdays a year, usually during the Festival of Ideas, Science Festival, and Open Cambridge. Keep an eye on our website for more upcoming dates.
