Royal Botanic Gardens Minibeasts Program + Bugs! 3D @ IMAX

A Rainforest Adventure and a journey to another world, where insects rule!

Visit the Royal Botanic Gardens and The Ian Potter foundation Children's Garden to see how minibeasts and plants make remarkable connections. Go on a minibeast hunt in the Rainforest, meet a carnivorous plant, get close-up with worms and make minibeast-repellant potpourri, and find out what minibeasts have moved in at The Ian Potter Foundation Children's Garden. Then through the power of giant screen 3D filmmaking, go deep inside the dramatic and savage world of these little guys, in Bugs! 3D at IMAX. This unique film tells the story of life and death in the wilds of the tropical rain forest, using stunning macro-photography and 3D imagery to accurately convey the tiny dramas of bug life on a grand scale. Please book and pay with each venue separately.
