School Excursions
Wanneroo Botanical Gardens is a sub-tropical botanical garden located 25 minutes north of Perth. Boasting over 500 species of exotic plants and trees from around the world, the gardens offer students the rare chance to experience a unique sub-tropical ecosystem.
Located within the gardens are two 18 hole miniature golf courses. The mini golf assists your students in developing their fine motor skills, extending their mental mathematic ability and challenging their problem solving skills, and most importantly it’s great fun!
Activities
Wanneroo Botanical Gardens is suitable for all ages and welcomes students from years 1 to 12. Your students can:
- Explore 5 acres of botanical gardens: discover over 500 species of exotic plants and trees throughout the stunning landscaped gardens, tranquil waterways, waterfalls and ever changing flower displays. The diversity of the plants, density of the canopy and waterways running through the gardens has created a unique ecosystem, offering students the rare chance to experience a sub-tropical micro climate in the middle of Perth!
Play 18 holes of Botanic Golf: Botanic Golf makes its way around the botanical gardens and walking the course will take you through the whole five acres of spectacular gardens. Based on traditional miniature golf, each track is uniquely shaped with its own obstacles, curves, ramps and devious dilemmas! - Play 18 holes of Billiard Golf: set amongst a terraced flower garden with a central pond and water feature and played on smaller tracks with a slower surface, Billiard Golf is a game of deflection, with the aim of the game being to deflect the ball from the track edge and into the hole, just like Pool or Billiards.
- Portfolio ready activity worksheets: A mathematic worksheet is available for years: 1-3, 4-5 and 6-7. A plants and the environment worksheet is available for years 1-3. Worksheets can be down loaded from below.
