There is so much to learn and discover at our centre !

Spend hours admiring our scaly and webbed foot friends to looking under the microscope at wonders found in our wetlands and don’t forget to join our educators daily at feeding time !

Through out the year the Fluvarium is host to monthly and annual events. During these events we have crafts and activities for children, a night out for adults with music and drinks, bug & amphibian talks, scavenger hunts, story time and more.
