"We (3 adults) spent a couple of hours here on a cold day. It was lovely to see all the different wildfowl. It is good value for the size, with free carers and discounts available for students, pensioners, and unemployed. There are talks and feeds at intervals throughout the day. The site is accessible (there are small wild areas that may not accommodate pushchairs or wheelchairs). The trails are paved and there are plenty of benches dotted around. There are also plenty of toilets, including accessible toilets. We spent just over an hour seeing the wildfowl and learning about them from the information boards, then we listened to the otter talk before having a warming drink and snack in the cafe (a little expensive but good food, good service, and a clean and spacious area. On a warmer day, we might have spent longer there. It's a good place for all ages to enjoy."

"Great day out. There's tonnes to do: boat rides, walks, parks, picnics, building dens, learning about birds, crafts, watching talks/demonstrations, pond dipping. It's immersive and the kids absolutely love it. Plenty of parking, cheap entry for a family with kids under 4, great toilet facilities, plenty of benched areas for picnics, buggy accessible all the way round. We've been a handful of times and will go back, even though it's a long way to drive."

"Fantastic family day at this lovely wetland centre near Ormskirk. We did the Easter duck hunt which my children 10 & 7 loved. We also hired canoes which was lots of fun. Free parking and cafe on site, also a good playground. Staff were very friendly, I would definitely return we all had a lovely day."

"Great location, nice walks, and if you become a member it is excellent value for money for multiple visits. lovely shop and restaurant. Unbelievable sights when it's feeding time. we have never seen so many birds together in one place when it was time for the food. Can't wait to go back and explore more of the venue. Was only there for a short while, but so amazing! Reasonable prices, nice food, nice helpful staff, and very knowledgeable in their area of expertise."
