Wild Britain, formerly known as the Bedford Butterfly Park, now offers so much more for a fun, family day out!
New for 2008 is the exciting Hedgehog Play Trail. With fun puzzles and activities, you'll wander through wild meadows, build a shelter, spot wildlife against the clock and take cover in the woodman's hut.
Plus in the tropical jungle you can become a Safari Spotter and claim a special free badge. With conditions just like the tropics, come face to face with butterflies in every stage of their development. Be warned it's hot, hot, hot!
You can also expect the unexpected at Wild Britain! Everyday, the keepers introduce you to some of their not so common residents. Discover how soft a tarantula is, feel a cockroach scuttle across your palm and hold a large African Land Snail.
No doubt, with so much excitement you'll deserve a rest, whether it's taking in one of the daily puppet shows, eating a tasty snack in the tea room or making your own arty creation to take home.
With all activities included in admission, it's great value too!
