Don't just take our word for it

“They loved every minute.”

Honestly great value, especially at only £15. They had such a good time and didn’t stop talking about what they did behind the scenes and felt so proud being a Junior Ranger for the day. It was hands-on, fun, and really well run.

“Highlight of our visit!”

This was such a great experience. They were a bit nervous at first but quickly got stuck in and felt like part of the team. Hearing them explain what they’d learned on the way home was lovely — definitely one of the highlights of our visit.
