Little adventurers get kitted with caving helmets and real head lamps, before braving the underground reaches of the Lucas Cave, in this interactive treasure-hunt experience. Once below ground, our friendly guides will have them learning about fossils and all things caves, through hands-on experiments and treasure hunting, before leaving with a little something to take home!
All guides hold a Working with Children Check, so Mum or Dad can either join in, or simply relax at the café, for some kid-free time, knowing their little ones will be in safe hands.
