WWT Martin Mere Zoos
Have a fantastic day out seeing, feeding and learning about wetland birds. At the same time you will be helping WWT to conserve wetland habitats and their biodiversity.
WWT Martin Mere is one of nine Wildfowl and Wetland Centres run by the Wildfowl and Wetland Trust (WWT). Visit Martin Mere and come into close contact with wetlands and their wildlife. You can feed some of the birds straight from your hand. Special events and exhibitions help to give an insight into the wonder of wetlands and the vital need for their conservation.
People of all ages and abilities will enjoy exploring the carefully planned pathways. You can go on a journey around the world, from the Australian Riverway to the South American Lake, and the Oriental Pen with its Japanese gateway, observing a multitude of exotic ducks, geese and swans along the way.
New in 2005 is a 63 hectare extension to the reserve overlooked by the Harrier Hide, thanks to funding by the Heritage Lottery Fund, Ibstock Cory Environmental Trust, WWT Members and the Friends of the WWT Martin Mere.
WETLAND ADVENTURE PLAYGROUND
Building on a child's fascination of the water, the Wetland Adventure is a playground with a difference. The pond maze is the heart of the adventure. To get there, children have to tackle a swaying bridge over a simulated wetland, migrate like a swan on the aerial flyway, or zoom down the otter slide, There are plenty of activities for toddlers too.
The Pinkfoot Pantry serves delicious snacks, hot and cold meals including vegetarian dishes and can cater for booked parties. .
