ShareLet the kids get up close and personal with nature, in all its muddy glory, at WildRootz, in Pensthorpe Wildlife and Gardens.
This enormous area, with over 30 items of play equipment, is set in the heart of the Norfolk countryside, in the beautiful and tranquil Wensum Valley. Kids can don waders and discover a fascinating underwater world teeming with life in the purpose-built pond-dipping pool, become bug detectives as they follow the trail of the creepy-crawlies through the Bug Walk, build dens in the woods and complete the Wildlife Tracker Trail, picking up special stamps along the way for a free gift at the end.
It’s an award-winning, guaranteed great day out whatever the weather decides to do – just be prepared to put a heavy wash on when you get back.
Pensthorpe Gardens will be reopening from July 1, following the COVID-19 lockdown. Please visit the website below for booking information and restrictions before travelling.
