Dogs

Unfortunately we can't allow dogs or pets of any kind on site, with the exception of trained assistance dogs, as our wildlife may become distressed. Trained assistance dogs are welcome but must be kept on their lead and under control at all times. Please ensure any dog waste is removed. If any of our birds/animals behaviour is affected by the presence of your dog, we respectfully ask that you understand that we may have to ask you to move away from the area. Please do not leave your dog in your car whilst visiting.

Our Wetland Centres are designed to give you an unforgettable experience getting close to nature.

Your safety is paramount, as is the safety of the wildlife at our Wetland Centres. To ensure everyone has a safe and enjoyable day, we have terms and conditions of entry and a code of conduct that everyone needs to observe.

We hope you have a great day with us.

When travelling through Slimbridge village please be mindful of our neighbours and reduce your speed to 20mph once you leave the A38.
