The ECOS centre is situated in 150 acres of river flood plain and was created to engage visitors with environmental issues.

Through interactive exhibits in high-tech galleries all ages can have fun exploring the natural world and how we use it. See alternative energy production, enjoy walking, cycling and fishing in the park and woodlands, or have a picnic before following a snail trail as part of the ecosquiz around the park. There are walks that take you over bridges, through the willow fairy ring, around the ecos lake and alongside the Braid River.

Kids will love the duck feeding, the toy tractors, the remote control boats and the play parks.

If you've had fun on your family day out to ECOS Millennium Environmental Centre, tell us about it your visit, so other people will know it's a great place to go as well.
