About WWT Washington Wetland Centre

Treat your family to a day of outdoor adventures, fun play, and beautiful scenery. Whatever the weather, WWT Washington Wetland Centre is perfect for bringing people closer to nature and for spotting plenty of animals.

Things To Do

Enjoy meeting ducks and geese in Ganderland, and don’t forget to keep your eyes peeled because you might get lucky and catch a glimpse of the rarest goose in the world - the nene! Plus see the adorable Asian short-clawed otter family as they swim, play and even juggle with stones! There are 104 acres of nature reserve to explore, with woodlands, wetlands and meadows to explore, and there are even feeding stations dotted around too.
