Embark on an egg-straordinary journey to discover the story of Pebble and his rocky eggs as we celebrate the beauty of our natural world coming to life again after its long winter slumber.
The Spring Trail opens on Friday 29th March and runs until the 12th May.
Celebrate Spring with Fern, Timber and Pebble!
Embark on a playful egg hunt with Pebble and his rocky eggs, as we honour Mother Earth in all of its beauty and wonder. Explore the secret stories hidden in the rocks beneath your feet, uncover secrets about egg-cellent rocks and discover whose egg is surprisingly not-so-rocky!
Along the way, keep an eye out for Pebble’s rocky eggs hidden within Discovery Land. Young explorers will receive a special trail sheet to guide them through the Secrets Books, where they can fill in details about each egg and learn about different rock types.
Will you be able to find out who Pebble has given each of his rocky eggs to?
Why is it important to celebrate our Earth?
Spring is a great time to reflect on all the ways that our planet takes care of us and what we can do to better preserve its resources for future generations.
With Earth Month upon us in April, what a great opportunity for us to teach our younger generation about the importance of honouring our planet in all of its beauty and wonder. Many cultures have long looked at springtime as the Earth’s birthday, celebrating this time of rebirth and renewal.
From the soil that nourishes the food we eat to the water and air that give us life, we have so much to thank our Mother Earth for.
