Noah's Ark Clock

Don’t miss the famous Noah’s Ark Clock during your visit to the Eastgate Shopping Centre! This animal-themed automation clock was installed in 1983, when the centre was originally built. Every hour on the hour, a monkey figure climbs a tree and chimes the bell. The clock then plays a children’s song like Baa Baa Black Sheep or The Ugly Duckling, and more animal figures move to the music. And at 12 noon there is a special extended display, where extra songs are played. This is a must if you’re shopping with the wee ones.
