Looking for a fun and educational way to spend time outdoors with the family? Come along to a Minibeast Monday, where little explorers can get up close with nature and discover the amazing world of bugs.

Get ready to explore the tiny wonders of nature with Minibeast Mondays, a FREE fun-filled drop in day perfect for curious kids and their grown-ups. Use magnifiers to discover and identify fascinating minibeasts, from wriggly worms to speedy beetles. Learn all about their habitats and behaviours through interactive activities, then unleash your creativity by sculpting your very own clay minibeast to take home. It’s a hands-on adventure packed with learning, and lots of little legs. 

Please note that the boat fare and admission fees still apply, which are payable on the day.
