Families can discover the UK’s greatest winter wildlife like never before this February half term by joining Arundel’s The Big Hideout.
From half term the bird hides have become hideouts with Birdy Bingo, mask making, planting bird food and lots more. Experts on wetland nature will be on hand to help you discover many of the birds that flock to the centre from around the world in the colder months.
Families will be able to borrow binoculars to see wildlife up close from the comfort of the Discovery Bird Hide from Feb 11-19. Families should also be on the lookout for noisy squadrons of greylag geese flying over, flocks of lapwings and the opportunity to warm up with a hot drink in our Water’s Edge café.
As well as The Big Hideout there are other activities for the whole family to discover this winter such as the Wetland Boat Safari, the Coastal Creek Aviary and daily Keeper talks with the Dalmatian Pelicans.
Elizabeth Pearce, Learning Manager at Arundel Wetland Centre said:
“Arundel Wetland Centre is the perfect place to discover incredible winter wetland wildlife and it’s amazing what you can see when you hide in the right place.
"We’ve turned our bird hides into Hideouts for February half term to welcome families and help them experience the joy of bird watching, get away from screens and soak up the wild this winter. It’s a great way to discover something new, have fun and make memories."
Families can share their adventures by using #WWTBigHideOut to show off their best photos and experiences. To find out more about what’s happening at WWT Arundel this February half term visit https://www.wwt.org.uk/wetland-centres/arundel/whats-on/the-big-hide-out-1
