Get to know the dolphins that call the Swan River home through interactive games and activities. Join us at South Perth Foreshore to listen to the sounds dolphins make and learn how their bodies help them swim, jump and catch food, then play a game to show us your best dolphin impression! Have a go at identifying the Swan River dolphins using our FinBook guide and then go on a walk along the river to see if you can spot them. Discover some of the things that can hurt our dolphins and what we can all do to keep them safe. Finish the morning by decorating your dolphin craft. 

This activity is suitable for children 4-7 years of age. Tickets must be purchased for participating children only. The ages for each activity are in place for your children to get the most out of their activity. In most cases, these age limits are in place due to activity content, recommendations by outside providers or for safety reasons. We appreciate your understanding in booking only children who are age appropriate into activities. 

The activity will be held at Sir James Mitchell Park, Zone 12, near Lake Hurlingham. Please park at the carpark located off Meadowvale Ave/Hurlingham Rd, which is also adjacent to the Sir James Mitchell Park public toilets. The activity location is marked on your map and is approximately 150m from the carpark. 

Please note that our activities are carried out with recommendations and advice from the WA government to ensure the health and safety of our participants, staff and volunteers.
