A wonderful day where the children were able to put their knowledge of plants to the test. Children gained a deeper understanding of the different functions of a flower as well as the pollination process and seed dispersal. (July 2021 - Primary School)

Lovely place to visit with our pupils. (January 2020 - Primary School)

Staff were great with the children and the children were involved and enthusiastic about every activity. Will definitely be back again! (May 2019 - Primary School)




It was an enjoyable, age appropriate and very well organised visit. The staff were extremely knowledgeable and provided very engaging activities for the children who, as a result, thoroughly enjoyed the day. (May 2019 - Primary School)




Amazing venue. really well resourced and planned. Risk assessments provided by the venue were perfect and made the job of school visits so much easier. Highly recommend. Speak to a lady called Charlotte to organise visit. (December 2018 - Primary School)

Very good although we only had 2 staff to support our groups rather than the 3 we needed. However, this was advised to us in advance and a reduction in the rate payable was applied. (July 2018 - Primary School)




We chose this venue as Wicken Fen was unavailable. it covered what we wanted---bug hunting and pond dipping and the leaders were well organised and enthusiastic. Not as many resources for the pupils meant that they were not all engaged in pond dipping at the same time, although the pupils were still interested in observing what they had found. In general although it was good, it was a long journey for what it was. (July 2018 - Primary School)

Staff were very friendly and knowledgeable. They were happy to answer queries prior to our visit and provided us with the required information in order to plan our trip. Facilities are very good - education room, cafe, shop, toilets, hand washing station. (June 2018 - Primary School)
