Little Taccas
The award-winning Little Taccas children's nature activities program is held at the Cairns Botanic Gardens.
Sessions are held fortnightly on Thursdays from 10am to noon.
The Little Taccas program, named after the tropical plant Tacca integrifolia, could not operate without the dedicated support of our volunteers and we are always looking for further assistance.
This program was created with the aim of connecting children aged 5 and under and their parents with nature while raising awareness of our natural areas.
This program features nature-based activities including art and craft, storytelling, sing-alongs and garden discovery walks.
Parents: for information on participating in the program with your child, please visit our Little Taccas page.
