My very shy 8 year old did the Marine Biologist half day. So worth the money. What an experience for my son we will back to do the full day. Thank you from one very nervous mum who left her son in your capable hands. You guys are awesome.
Our daughter had an amazing time today being a marine biologist for the day program. She has not stopped talking about her experience yet. Thank you for a wonderful program.
My 8 year old had a great time being a Marine Biologist! We will definitely be booking in again for the Christmas holidays! All the hands on activities with the animals was amazing!
