Essential tree works - w/c 11 November

There is some tree maintenance taking place along the gully throughout this week. This may cause some disturbance and noise around our visitor centre, stream channel and nearby areas. Thank you for your patience as we do this essential work.

Close alert

Flamingos (currently off show*)

With their striking pink plumage and dancing displays, our Chilean flamingos are a must-see during the warmer months.

Take a seat and enjoy close-up views of the North East’s only flamingo flock. Daily talks at 11.45am and 2.45pm.

Find out more about the flamboyant flamingos of the North East.

*Our Chilean flamingo flock is currently being housed indoors. This is a temporary measure as a precaution to avian influenza (bird flu).

They are perfectly comfortable indoors - their house has UV lighting, heat, food and fresh water, and our team check on them regularly.

This means there will be no flamingo talks for now. As soon as the flamingos are safe to be outdoors again, we will let you know!
