For the family

Visiting with little ones? There’s lots to see and do all year long!

We've easy-to-navigate walks around our various habitats, plus a calendar of special themed events to enjoy.

You can also discover the clever ways in which we use water in our award-winning Working Wetland Garden. Try your hand at pumping the water in our recycled Water Lab to activate the tippy cups or pause a while on the decking area and take in the seasonal wildlife.

No kid’s visit is complete without running off some energy in Playscape, where the elements of fun and water meet! A climbing frame, Archimedes Screw, scramble net, sand pit and giant slide are just some of the stars of our adventure play area. On your marks…race you to the giant tap!
