COVID-19

We’re still here, we’re just not here. We’re working from home. We’re doing everything we can to maintain business as usual but there are some things that we won’t be able to do from home.

Stuck for Ideas this Easter?

We’ve got an Easter Egg Hunt with a difference that’s sure to put a smile on everyone’s face. Back by popular demand our Indoor Easter Eggcase Hunt Trail can be done in the home or garden!

CREATURE FEATURE: Blue Shark

The beautiful and bold Blue Shark is named for its dazzling colour. Sleek and agile, they have a distinctive cone shaped snout and large endearing eyes.

Due to Covid-19 this event has been postponed. We're working with the RGS and Speakers to confirm a new date as soon as possible. Once confirmed we'll announce the new date and look forward to seeing you then. If you have already purchased a ticket we will be in touch.
