Our otters are currently not viewable from their main exhibit due to maintenance on the boardwalk, but can still be seen from their house. Welly Boot Land will be closed on Friday 28 March for essential maintenance. Apologies for any inconvenience caused and thank you for your patience.

Uniform Groups

Bring your uniform group to WWT Slimbridge for a brilliant day out you won’t forget!

Come and find out how amazing a trip to Slimbridge can be by joining us on one of our Uniform group Wetland Explorer days!

Wetland Explorer Days take place from 9.30am – 4pm on select weekends during the year.

You’ll have a choice of 2 activities led by our learning team, which have been planned to help your group work towards a wide range of badges.

During the morning you could either:

  • Investigate what problems plastic pollution is causing and what we can do to help overcome it, or
  • Take part in a BioBlitz and discover which species make wetlands their home

Then in the afternoon, either:

  • Discover what amazing creatures live in a pond and how they are adapted to survive there, or
  • Get creative with natural materials and create a minibeast hotel to take home

You’ll also have plenty of time to explore the grounds and centre alongside our other visitors, including a host of new and exciting exhibits. There’s so much to do you may have trouble packing it into one visit! You could visit the Arctic tundra and Hawaii, learn about Sam and Tilly our otters at their feed, meet our wonderful amphibians, feed the birds (additional cost involved), take part in an eco-audit of Slimbridge or play in our adventure playground.

Each day is charged at £8.50 per child, with adults free at a ratio of 1:5. Minimum group size of 10. Places must be booked in advance.

Please call 01453 891116 or email education.slimbridge@wwt.org.uk for more information on the days or to book your groups places.
