Be sure to check the library's event calendar for specific dates and times, as sessions may vary. **Nearby** - Adelaide Botanic Garden: A beautiful and educational outdoor space to explore after your Science Squad session. - Adelaide Central Market: A vibrant market offering a variety of food and shopping experiences. - Adelaide Zoo: Home to over 250 species of animals, perfect for a family outing. **Tips From Other Parents** "Arrive a little early to secure a good spot and let your child explore the library's children's section before the session starts." - Sarah, mum of two "Don't forget to ask the Science Squad facilitators for ideas on how to continue the learning at home!" - David, dad of a 7-year-old science enthusiast
