Families in Coffs Harbour have a final opportunity to enjoy a guided nocturnal nature experience before the school holidays conclude, with the North Coast Regional Botanic Garden hosting a special event on Friday, 17 April 2026.
The Wildlife After Dark tour invites children aged five years and older to explore the garden after hours. Running from 5pm to 6:30pm, the tour provides an opportunity to see native animals such as possums, gliders, koalas, and bats in their natural habitat. Volunteer guides will lead the group through the 20-hectare site, sharing insights into where the animals hide, their diets, and the reasons behind the sounds they make at night.
The garden, which is managed in a partnership between the City of Coffs Harbour and the volunteer Friends of the North Coast Regional Botanic Garden Inc., is situated at the corner of Hardacre Street and Coffs Street. While the garden offers free daily entry during regular opening hours of 9am to 5pm, tickets for this specific school holiday tour cost $5 per person.
Space is limited for the event, and advance bookings are essential. Interested families can secure their spots through Eventbrite.
