Halloween Scavenger Hunt 2025. Fantastic day out ! Would highly recommend. The kids (age 6) absolutely loved it, They were able to find all of the vegetable clues and fill in their sheets. Adult clues were fun too! Followed by lunch in the lakeside cafe, top notch ! Thanks to everyone.

Halloween Scavenger Hunt 2025. I was at the opening day of the Halloween Scavenger Hunt with my eight-year-old daughter yesterday and I’m delighted to say the experience was brilliant. Although it was raining we both really enjoyed the hunt, from solving intriguing questions and puzzles along the route that both myself and my daughter could engage with and the different Halloween scenes and decorations set up along the way. It really added to the Halloween feeling and atmosphere. Rounded off a well spent morning by collecting our pumpkins and spoiling ourselves with a hot chocolate and some brunch in the Lakeside Café. Looking forward to next year.

I visited the wetlands with 4 children and had an absolutely fabulous time. There was a mix up with the boat tour I booked (my own fault) but was quickly resolved by a very helpful and pleasant staff member. We really enjoyed the boat trip which was led by a very friendly and informative guide, who was also very happy to answer all the questions from the children. We also did the zorbing which was great fun. Will definitely be returning.
