Summer Of Fun At Llanelli Wetland Centre
Dive into a summer full of head-turning wildlife encounters, the coolest nature play and enjoy wondrous new experiences.
Plus NEW for this summer, join us and fly around the world on our Summer Postcard Trail, every day throughout the school summer holidays.
There’s nine postcards and one epic adventure to enjoy this summer. Pelican Postie has dropped their postbag, scattering mail across our wetland centres. Can you find the lost postcards, discover who wrote them, and work out where the world’s animals are spending their summer holidays? Which creature’s been backpacking for 4,000 miles? And who’s got themselves a summer job with WWT?
Pick up your trail map from the visitor centre and jet off on a first-class adventure. The Summer Postcard Trail and activities are included in your admission ticket or free for WWT members.
There’s plenty of exciting outdoor play areas for all ages to conquer. In the daring wild outdoor adventure playground Explore, laugh as you leap across swamps, walk the ropes, balance along beams and hop around like a fearless frog. Race to the wishing well to find your destiny, take a peek in the wooden roundhouse, rustle through the giant reeds, make some noise with our wooden instruments and see if you’re brave enough to tackle the adventurer route.
Nearer to the centre you can play alongside the beautiful swans, ducks and geese in the sandy flamingo-themed paradise Flamingo Bay. Right next to the centre, it’s also a good location for the grown-ups to sit with a takeaway coffee (or ice cream!) so they can relax and watch you swing, slide, rock and scramble.
The reserve side also has its own great play areas. Don’t forget to check out Swan’s Nest Maze and get to the middle of the winding willow puzzle to find the big swan’s eggs… and then try to find your way back out again! Then, there’s Water Vole City, too! Wriggle and crawl through willowy tunnels like our furry wetland friends.
Fancy testing your building skills? Make like a bird and weave your own giant nest, or head down to Wiggly Wood to build your own secret den.
Awe-inspiring nature activities run every weekend and school holidays at Llanelli Wetland Centre. There’s something new for all ages to discover, every week of the year! With regular guided nature walks, special holiday events, weekend family activities, wildlife talks and much more – you’ll never find two visits to our centre the same.
