Lovely volunteers and staff. Awesome environment for the birds, insects and animals. Lots of play equipment and activities for the kids. Thanks to Captain Dave for the entertaining river ride.
A great day out. Plenty of parking available, including disabled. Friendly and helpful staff. My mother-in-law was able to hire a mobility scooter for £10 despite not pre-booking. Tonnes of ducks, lots of different breeds. Plus flamingoes and otters. We only got round about 40% of the place in our 4 hour stay so will definitely go back. Plenty of toilets. Refreshing that these were clean and well looked after too. A number of playgrounds and water play equipment. Lots of picnic benches. Cafe was expensive. In good weather, bring your own picnic! A well stocked (but also very expensive) gift shop. We pre-booked a boat ride, which was lovely. Canoes also available. We will definitely return. A great day out for all of us. 10% off tickets if you book online.
We went on a dull day. There was a lot of brown ducks. Im sure if you know your duck they were different. There are storks and flamingos. There are a couple of play areas. One wet play so take a towel and possibly a change of clothes. There is a Reed bed walk off the car park which we walked part way.
Today was my first visit. This place is brilliant for kids of all ages to explore wildlife, we saw many species of birds, ducks and geese. The facilities are great for wheelchair users and prams most of the grounds are easily accessible. My kids also loved the new splash walk and wildlife garden, as well as the splash area. Unfortunately we ran out of time and didnt get to use the play ground but it looks great. I think prices are fair as you can easily spend a whole day here immersing yourself in the wildlife and all activities on offer. We missed the educational sessions but would like to do them next time. The cafe is a bit expensive but nothing out of the ordinary these days, would recommend you bring a picnic as there is plenty space designated for this. Recommend a change of clothes and wellies for the wet activities. Will gladly return again soon!
A wonderful place to spend some time in nature. A large site with a variety of walks and hides for those happy to walk a bit further from the main area. Lots for kids to do in the inner area with ponds and different birds to look at and a restaurant too. Wheelchair and pushchair friendly paths and most of the hides are very accessible and some have an upper level. Very well managed and lots of information about what you can see, recommend a visit if you're nearby.
We (3 adults) spent a couple of hours here on a cold day. It was lovely to see all the different wildfowl. It is good value for the size, with free carers and discounts available for students, pensioners, and unemployed. There are talks and feeds at intervals throughout the day. The site is accessible (there are small wild areas that may not accommodate pushchairs or wheelchairs). The trails are paved and there are plenty of benches dotted around. There are also plenty of toilets, including accessible toilets. We spent just over an hour seeing the wildfowl and learning about them from the information boards, then we listened to the otter talk before having a warming drink and snack in the cafe (a little expensive but good food, good service, and a clean and spacious area. On a warmer day, we might have spent longer there. It's a good place for all ages to enjoy.
Great day out. There's tonnes to do: boat rides, walks, parks, picnics, building dens, learning about birds, crafts, watching talks/demonstrations, pond dipping. It's immersive and the kids absolutely love it. Plenty of parking, cheap entry for a family with kids under 4, great toilet facilities, plenty of benched areas for picnics, buggy accessible all the way round. We've been a handful of times and will go back, even though it's a long way to drive.
Fantastic family day at this lovely wetland centre near Ormskirk. We did the Easter duck hunt which my children 10 & 7 loved. We also hired canoes which was lots of fun. Free parking and cafe on site, also a good playground. Staff were very friendly, I would definitely return we all had a lovely day.
Great location, nice walks, and if you become a member it is excellent value for money for multiple visits. lovely shop and restaurant. Unbelievable sights when it's feeding time. we have never seen so many birds together in one place when it was time for the food. Can't wait to go back and explore more of the venue. Was only there for a short while, but so amazing! Reasonable prices, nice food, nice helpful staff, and very knowledgeable in their area of expertise.
