About

A magical after-hours adventure where children can discover bats in the wild, use bat detectors to hear their calls, and toast marshmallows around the campfire. As darkness falls WWT London Wetland Centre becomes a truly magical place and one of the best places in London to see bats as they fly in at night to feed over our lakes and ponds. Children can now join us on a nocturnal adventure to find these mysterious creatures, using special bat detectors to hear their hunting calls. We finish up around the camp fire to share our stories and toast marshmallows.
