Will you discover What Lurks Beneath this October!?

Join us for our ALL NEW interactive trail and fun pond dipping sessions

What Lurks Beneath this October at WWT Washington

From the feathered and furred to the slimy and scaly - we love all species that call wetlands home. But are you brave enough to explore the weird and wonderful side of wetland nature on our ALL NEW interactive trail this October, where you’ll uncover amazing facts and face tricky tests along the way? We dare you to find out!

Plus, visit the interactive Pond Zone, where you’ll search for water snails, water boatmen, great diving beetles and their formidable larvae and more! Our friendly team will show you how to safely catch and ID your finds before carefully releasing them back into the water.
