There was quite a lot to entertain them, admittedly a lot of stuff there was for “bigger kids” like the balloon room (yep a room full of balloons) and some of the more complicated science stuff. The face-painters had also only been paid for half a day's work, so we (understandably) had tears from Audrey and Eli as we watched them pack down. The dinosaur petting zoo was similarly being loaded into the back of a Transit van when we arrived just after lunch.
Nevertheless they loved the reptile show – interestingly neither they nor any of the other kids watching were upset at the sight of mice being fed to a huge goanna (fascination obviously overtook revulsion) to the extent that they tried to re-create it at home with Dad as the mouse and Eli as the goanna. We also sat and enjoyed an ice-cream in the sun, which while not particularly "science-y", made for a pleasant afternoon.
Audrey and Eli get up close to a croc!
