Miranda Krestovnikoff from BBC Coast opened our fantastic new exhibits in July. These feature interactive games, and an underwater camera allowing you to watch fascinating aquatic creatures in their natural habitat. The exhibits aim to demonstrate why wetlands are important and how you can help to protect them.
In the pond safari, you'll have the chance to see pond life up close using an underwater camera that you can operate yourself! Who knows what you might spot, from the flash of a perch as he zooms by to a water vole’s toes paddling through the water above…
And the latest technology is being used in a stunning new digital pond that features a photo-realistic interactive floor depicting a number of different types of wetland habitats such as ponds, lilies and pools. As you walk around the floor you'll create ripples in the 'water' and will be able to play games such as leading a dragonfly nymph through its lifecycle and creating your own digital wildlife pond.
Come along this summer to be among the first to create your own perfect digital pond and search for underwater wildlife.

The new exhibits have been funded by Thames Water.
