Roving Puppets

Is an interactive display presented by 'Ranger Ros', where audience members get to pat, hug and feed a variety of animal puppets, whilst learning about nature.

Audience members are also welcome to have their photos taken with the puppets.

Price: AU$100.00 per hour.

A deposit of $10 is payable at time of booking to secure the performance date. The deposit will be refunded if the performance is cancelled by the performer (for example: due to illness or injury).

Price: AU$120.00 for a 30-45 minute performance.

A group photo (eg. Class Photo), with a favourite animal from the show, is certainly welcome, along with a question & answer session.
