I have to admit that I am a member. I took the grand children herre the other Easter Monday. They loved it so much that on the way out I joined (Family member). I also pay for my son and his family as they love it too. We have been countless times and we simply never tire of it. Sometimes... More

It does not matter if you are an experienced or novice bird watcher - there is plenty for all to enjoy. The hides are excellent - I could spend hours just in one and there are lots. Give it plenty of time. More

We took out annual membership after our first visit and have been back many times in the last 12 months. The membership deal is a really good one as you can name a lot of people on your cards. All our children, aged 10, 6 and 5 love it here. There is space to run around, with dedicated play areas.... More

Our third visit to Slimbridge but our first for quite some time. Easy to find and plenty of free parking, also not too busy for the last day of the school holidays. £30 entry for a family of four which was reasonable although an annual ticket for all 9 Wetlands parks in the UK would save a considerable amount if...

A fascinating few hours if you are into birds and beasts. Join in the folks wandering round and feeding the birds, sit in peace in the hides or have a meal in the restaurant. Gift shop a little pricey but good for gifts for family if they are into wildlife. More
