What people said about last year’s family fun day:
Such a wonderful event! All the children were so engaged in the play and learning opportunities.
Highly enjoyable event. Lots of examples of activities with babies and young children that are free and doable!
We go to a lot of events but they’re not always suitable for young ones. This has been great for my nephew - he really enjoyed it.
Add to CalendarIt was a great experience!!! I look forward to 2024 already.
