It's Wing Time - Half Term Activities

June is the best time to spot fluffy ducklings – and WWT London Wetland Centre is a great place to find them.

Meet our family of friendly farmyard ducklings face to face and watch these newly-hatched ducklings taking their first swim in their very own pool. Our team will be on hand to explain how the ducklings have developed and about their behaviour and habitats.

As well as seeing our family of farmyard ducklings, come and join in our daily interactive duckling activities to find out more about these fluffy characters and join in with some special duckling games. You’ll also be able to try out egg tempera painting: create some beautiful artworks with egg yolk.

On Saturday 25 and Sunday 26 May you’ll also be able to meet colourful butterflies close up in a fascinating display by Butterfly Jungles. Join a butterfly expert to hear all about these beautiful insects. There will also be a butterfly talk each day in the Theatre.

Take a stroll around our beautiful nature reserve with one of the WWT team to spot wild ducklings and chicks. From mallards and tufted ducks to swans and moorhens there will be plenty of busy bird families diving, dabbling and pecking for food among the lakes and ponds. You might also spot dragonflies and lizards, and there will be plenty of colourful wild flowers to enjoy.
