10 - 4 pm Weekend

Yebo Gogga Yebo amaBlomo is an annual exhibition where the public and school learners can see and learn about fascinating bugs, plants and animals. Every year the theme of the exhibition changes to reveal interesting information about the amazing creatures that inhabit this planet, especially those in South Africa. School groups can use the tailor-made workbooks to explore the wide variety of displays and learn more about the unique and exciting things on show.

The theme for Yebo Gogga Yebo amaBlomo 2013 is 'Underground' 

Ultimately all life depends on what happends underground. Explore this unknown realm with us. Few plants can live without soil, without the many organisms living in the soil breaking down litter and recycling the dead the earth would be buried meters deep. The soil plays a vital role in the water cycle and is alive with creatures, some for shelter and rest, some for their whole lives. We will peep into what goes on under our feet.
