Family Activity Guide: Call in at the Visitor Centre and pick up the latest quiz trail guide – can you find/spot all the items listed?
Pond Dipping (April to October): Enjoy discovering pond life by “dipping” in our purpose built ponds. Nets, trays and identification sheets upto a maximum of 8 nets at any one time are available at the Visitor Centre between 10.30am and 3pm. Use of own nets is not allowed.
Please note that because of the popularity of this activity pre booking is required for group visits (eg child minding and nursery groups) which are limited to one group in the morning and afternoon and for a maximum of one hour and four nets per group. Please contact the Visitor Centre 0113 2040441 to avoid disappointment.
Mini Beast Hunt: See what you can find in our mini beast “homes” – just lift the lids and see what’s there but mind your fingers when lowering the lid! “Homes” can be found at several points around the Reserve – can you find them and what can you see?
Bird Watching: Most of the Reserve hides and viewing screens have low viewing points suitable for children – what can you spot on our wetland habitats or at the Manager’s Garden feeding point? Binoculars are available for loan from the Visitor Centre.
