Join in the GIANT Easter duck hunt at WWT London Wetland Centre

Duck Hunt: Some of the ducklings are missing. Can you help find them?  From Saturday 1 to Monday 17 April follow the Easter GIANT Duck Hunt around the beautiful nature reserve to find eight ducklings hiding, disguised as the real ducks you can see here.  If you discover them all you’ll win a chocolate prize.

Plus, spot the 14 celebrity Dusty Duck characters, made with the help of Aardman studios.  Spot Steve Backshall‘s Explorer Dusty and Joanna Lumley’s Absolutely Fabulous Patsy duck together with many more!   Aardman studios help celebrate WWT’s 70th anniversary by getting children closer to nature.

Normal admission charges.  Both trails are £1.00 each including a chocolate prize.

Come along to London Wetland Centre for an Easter adventure. Borrow a net to try pond dipping; who knows what mini-beasts you’ll find? Spring is a wonderful time to visit WWT London Wetland Centre as new life is bursting all around. Babies, bugs and buds in abundance. With Easter egg-tivities, birds singing and springtime flowers, you can’t beat London Wetland Centre as the best place to be during the Easter holidays.
