Help! Find our ducks
WWT Martin Mere Wetland Centre has lost a group of GIANT yellow ducks and we need children and their families to help us find them this Easter.
The Martin Mere GIANT duck hunt will take place from Friday 25 March to Sunday 24 April, promising lots of family fun for the holidays.
On arrival you’ll be given a special activity sheet to take a trail round stunning grounds, where you’ll need to search high and low – and use all your hide-and-seek skills to find these elusive yellow visitors. There are yummy chocolate treats to be won, as well as certificates for helping us find our missing ducks.
Victoria Fellowes, Marketing Manager at Martin Mere said:
“Our wardens are great at spotting all the baby ducklings, goslings and cygnets waddling around our wetland nature reserves in the Spring. But for some reason they keep missing these cheeky GIANT yellow rubber ducks – so we desperately need your help to find them!”
For more information about the GIANT duck hunt visit wwt.org.uk/GIANTducks and follow #GIANTducks to join in the fun.
As well as the GIANT duck hunt, Martin Mere also has a range of family activities during the Easter holidays to keep visitors of all ages entertained, including walks and talks, paint a duck craft sessions to enter our Duck Race on the 2 May. There will also be den building and pond dipping on offer as well as our award winning canoe and boat safaris reopening from the 24th March.
