Wildlife of Gondwana is on display until July 2016.

For critters of a different kind, and keeping with the woolly theme of the place, the Museum is attempting a Guinness World Record of 10,000+ Pom Pom Sheep, featuring Shaun the Sheep. Go make a few and add to the flock.
Did you ever see that episode, where the sheep were having a disco in the barn, and the girl sheep put their handbags on the floor and danced around them, and then the pigs came in and cranked up their hip-hop records, and then....oh, sorry, got caught up in that memory.

Last, but not least, grab a friend and have a puzzle off - putting together these giant puzzles of Geelong CBD and the whole bay area. Lots of fun.
