About this Event

🧒 Fungi for Families – Event Description

Welcome to a mushroom adventure designed just for kids (and the grown-ups who bring them).

At Pinhey Forest, we’ll turn the forest into a playground of discovery—learning about fungi through games, storytelling, and hands-on exploration.

Kids will:

  • Learn what mushrooms are (and what they’re definitely not)
  • Discover weird and wonderful fungi facts
  • Go on mini “mushroom hunts”
  • Build curiosity about the natural world

Parents can relax and enjoy the walk alongside their kids—no teaching required, but do please keep an eye on your child.

Details:

  • Duration: 90 minutes (2:00 PM – 3:30 PM)
  • Kids: Paid ticket (5+)
  • Parents/guardians: Free
  • Trail: Easy, but not stroller-friendly
  • What to bring: Comfortable shoes, water, weather-appropriate clothing, mosquito repellent/netting (even if you don't think you will want to use it, trust us.)
