Uncover a world of incredible underwater life in the new Pond Zone.
Grab a net and delve into pond dipping when you visit during spring and summer. There is everything you need to discover a whole new world of wetland species: nets, trays, magnifying glasses and identity cards. The friendly Learning Team are also on hand to help and answer any questions you may have.
Four beautifully planted raised ponds in the Pond Zone give you the chance to dip for nymphs, water boatmen and water fleas using equipment provided at timed sessions.
Ponds make perfect abodes for lots of interesting invertebrates and you’ll be able to meet them during your pond dipping session. Next to each pond, there are also handy identification charts so you can put a name to all the watery critters you find.
