About WWT Slimbridge Wetland Centre

WWT Slimbridge Wetland Centre offers families an exciting range of close wildlife encounters. From hand feeding the world’s rarest goose to spotting 5 species of flamingo, to exploring the waterways on the Canoe Safari or adventuring out to the wider reserve by 4x4. There are many ways to experience wildlife all year round in their wetland paradise.

Throughout the year there is a programme of daily events including otter and amphibian talks, Scott House Museum tours and free-flying bird demonstrations. During the winter months there are also daily commentated wild bird feeds where visitors can experience hundreds of wild birds, including the beautiful Bewick’s swans, being fed on the floodlit Rushy Lake.
