About

The centre publishes a Sensory Map and recommends term-time weekdays, especially after 14:30, for a quieter visit. Paths include tarmac, gravel and boardwalk; most hides are wheelchair accessible, with limitations noted for Wildside Hide. Advance online adult admission was £17.10 without Gift Aid on 6 November 2026, not a same-day price. Under-threes and carers assisting disabled visitors enter free. Register your car at admissions.
