Situated on the site of the old zoo, this is a small but sweet centre for the study of ecology and local wildlife. Inside are a range of exploratory activities, such as worksheets to fill out, puzzles to do and things to marvel at through microscopes. There is also a display of native animals and a tiny gift shop to soak up any spare pocket money. Outside there are a series of nature reserves. You have to stick to the paths so that the wildlife is not disturbed, so it is not a good place for rampaging toddlers, but 5-11 year olds will enjoy it and it may even help with those homework projects.
