Easter Duck Trail

Have a quacking time at Lancashire's wetlands as you enjoy the Easter Duck Trail.

The perfect opportunity to get outdoors with all the family.  Explore the amazing wetlands as you hunt for 25 bright yellow ducks and their friends and discover more about the real life ducks.

Each little hunter will be given an activity sheet on arrival, which will take them on a trail around the grounds.  Search high and low, and use all of your hide-and-seek skills, to find the giant yellow visitors.

You can also get creative in the craft room.  Buy a rubber duck, colour it in and then bring it back to the centre on Bank Holiday Monday 1 May to enter it into the annual duck race.  

The Pond Zone will be open every day of the Easter holidays.  Grab a net and delve into pond dipping.  Everything you need to uncover incredible underwater life.
