Sydney City Farm open day: seeds of science

Sydney City Farm’s National Science Week open day is a free, family-friendly program exploring science, nature and sustainability through hands-on activities. Visitors can meet a scientist, examine seeds, make a seed bomb, study leaf-litter insects under a microscope, create a sun-print artwork, learn how birds, bats and mammals help plants reproduce, join a scavenger hunt and pollinator planting tour, and pot up a seedling to take home. The event runs on Saturday 22 August 2026 from 10:00 am to 2:00 pm at Sydney City Farm, 52 Barwon Park Road, St Peters, within Sydney Park. It is suitable for families and children must be supervised by a parent or carer. Admission is free, but advance booking is essential through the City of Sydney booking page. Attendees should bring a water bottle; public transport is recommended. The official listing does not specify accessibility arrangements, so visitors with access requirements should contact the City of Sydney before attending.
