"Amazing place full of birds and ducks. Lots of Hides to see local birds with knowledgeable friendly guides too. Lovely cafe with good selection of hot and cold food, meals and snacks. Wonderful shop, good selection of gifts and goodies. Well worth the entrance fee, spent all day here."
"A lovely day out. Very accessible for wheelchair user and those with buggies. The price of hot drinks for the size was a bit steep otherwise I would have given 5 stars. Staff were knowledgeable when doing the talks or being asked questions."
"What an amazing place this is! Excellent wetland centre where there is something for everyone of all ages to enjoy, from family visits, day trip tourists, educational visits, serious bird enthusiasts, wildlife photographers, nature & environmental students, this place has it all. Good cafe & gift shop, diverse array of bird species, environmental projects, estuary bird hides, attractive designed lakes & ponds, rain forest wildlife plus much more will together easily fill a day's visit. Annual membership is great value for unlimited visits, especially if local to the area. Highly recommended!"
"Loved this trip so much we became members. Fantastic day out for families, couples or on your own. Its a leisurely half a days walk around the wetlands. There's an outdoor cage at the far end to break up the walk. Lots of benches in quiet spots and lots of gorgeous birds to watch. And feed in some areas. If your brave... the geese are a bit excited when you have some bird food to give them!"
