Please arrive on time as doors will close after the start of each session to keep a calm, quiet environment for the animals. To secure your slot, book in advance by emailing gpep@tcv.org.uk with the number of children, their ages (recommended 4+) , and how many adults will be accompanying them. You can take your chance on the day too – enquire at the office and, if there are spaces left, we’ll add you to the list (on a first-come, first-served basis). Stick around in the park and complete the quiz or the younger children’s trail to learn even more about minibeasts.
