The displays inside are really informative and enable you to appreciate the wildlife and fauna surrounding the Centre. There is a lovely shop and the food in the Resaurant is freshly coked and splended choice. I tried the Kangaroo Burger and it was so delicious.( I hopped around after!) More

We didn't really get the chance to view the reserve at all, and didn't enter the bit you needed to pay an entry fee for, but our 3 year old had the time of his life at the Little Darters Wildlife Adventure Play area. We were lucky that the weather was fabulous, and the place was quiet (mid-week, pre Easter... More

A beautiful local site ruined by dog pooh. I've just walked my 4 dogs there today, around Thorpe Walk and for the first time ever have had to wipe pooh off their paws before putting them in the car! The verges are thick with it. Shame on local dog owners who don't pick up - the reserve have done all... More

On our first visit to this information/education centre, we were disappointed to find broken exhibits and closed off areas. The shop was well stocked and full of staff. The priorities are clear... Free entrance, but it must have cost the taxpayer hundreds of thousands. Boo. More
