Easter Eggstravaganza at WWT London Wetland Centre

Meet our family of friendly ducklings – they’re a lot cuter than eggs wrapped in foil! Find out how they grow and what they like to eat. There are two interactive duckling shows every day where you can find out more about these fluffy characters and join in with some special duckling games.

Watch the newly-hatched ducklings taking their first swims in their very own pool. Our friendly team will be on hand to explain how the ducklings have developed and about their behaviour and habitats.

Take part in one of our fun pond dipping sessions: see what you can find swimming around under the surface of the water. Complete our special Easter trail (£1) and receive a small prize.

April is the time when wild ducklings start to hatch. Fat, fluffy mallard ducklings chase after their mother across the ponds in the sunshine and stripey Great Crested Grebe chicks hitch a ride on their parents’ backs.

While you’re here, enjoy a springtime walk around WWT London Wetland Centre. Listen out for singing birds and see how many spring flowers you can spot. As warm sunny days become more frequent primroses poke their noses above ground, willow branches are decked in their soft, shiny catkin baubles and the first newts will be making their way to the ponds to spawn. Other spring highlights at London Wetland Centre are daffodils, marsh marigold, blackthorn, colt’s foot, blue anemones, sweet violets and common field-speedwell.
