32 The Modern Family Family days out & attractions


A fun, interactive summer at WWT London


This summer, children have the chance to become a Wetland Explorer at London Wetland Centre


F


rom Saturday 20 July to Sunday 1 September, there will be loads


of exciting wetland challenges to embark upon, including pond dipping, wild painting and raft building. Head to WWT’s Wetland HQ where you can pick up a FREE trail map and set off into the wild to get wet and muddy and learn explorer skills through the wild play challenges and NEW ‘Swamp Survival Squad’. It’s going to be a fun day out for the whole family! When all the visitors have gone


and dusk starts to fall over the reserve, the London Wetland Centre transforms into a truly captivating place. Families are invited to expe- rience the magic of the centre after- hours with the Children’s Night Safaris from 2-30 August (Friday’s only). The


team will take visi-


tors on a night adventure, building dens, listening to and looking for nocturnal wildlife, and sharing stories around a roaring campfi re. These safaris are suitable for chil- dren aged seven and over. Alternatively, learn about one centre’s less well-known


of the


mammals during one of the evening Bat Walks on Thursday


22 and


Thursday 29 August. These walks give visitors the opportunity not only to learn more about these incredible


animals during a talk
