Calling all nature explorers!
Calling all nature explorers – your passport is issued, your expedition is set, your summer adventure is waiting at WWT Washington Wetland Centre!
Splash, hunt and dip your way through our wetlands this season to become a Super Nature Explorer, with fun family activities to enjoy and unforgettable close-up wildlife just waiting to be discovered.
Go on a mini beast hunt or pond-dip for watery creatures. Meet incredible wetland wildlife including cheeky otters, pink flamingos and endangered geese. Or take part in special events like campfire cooking, bug handling sessions and a birds of prey day.
Children can pick up a free Nature Explorers Passport at the admissions desk from Saturday 18 July-Monday 31 August and complete the 8 challenges to receive a special gold sticker.
And if you don’t have enough time to fill in your passport on the day, you can visit again for free to complete your mission any time during the summer*.
