Join in one of their family activity sessions

‘Amphibian Action’
Amphibians like frogs, newts and salamanders are truly amazing creatures.  There are 6,000 different types of amphibians and these can be found in many types of habitat, including rainforest, swamps and deserts.  You may also be lucky enough to have some amphibians in your own back garden or in your school grounds.  Come along to one of our ‘Amphibian Action’ family activity sessions and find out more about these fascinating animals.

‘Animal Superheroes’
All animals have very special features, which make them perfectly suited for surviving in their habitats.  Super defences, interesting diets, special weapons and amazing abilities help animals survive some tricky situations.  Join in on one of our family activity sessions to find out about some of the animal superheroes that we have here at Marwell.

‘Save YOUR Planet’
Planet Earth is a diverse and beautiful planet, with millions of different types of animals and plants.  Sadly, many of these are threatened with extinction, often because of the actions of humans.  It’s not all doom and gloom though, there are lots of things that we can all do, starting in your very own back yard.  Come to one of our family activity sessions and find out about some of the things you can do to look after the wildlife in your very own bit of planet Earth.

All family sessions will include the opportunity to make a craft item and they will give you a ‘take-home’ activity, so you can carry on your animal adventure back at home.
