Have a bug-tastic time over May Half Term at Martin Mere. Meet the giant bionic bugs as they hide within the grounds. Join in as the moth traps are open everyday at 11:00 by the Discovery hide.
Take part in daily bug hunts from 11:00 - 12.30 in the Wild Walk.
Delve into the ponds in the daily pond dipping sessions between 13.30 and 15:00.
There will be bug themed crafts in the family craft room from 13:00 to 16:00, including butterfly sand art and make your own butterfly wings.
For those looking for an extra adventure, head over to the canoe safari area, where you can hire a canoe or go on a relaxing boat tour between 11:00 and 16:00 and see what real life insects you will find.
Pick up an insect spotter sheet from the information desk and see if you can find and tick off all the bugs on the list as you explore Martin Mere. There's loads more activities for the whole family. Go on a wild walk adventure, build a den, enjoy the outdoor adventure playground, brave the stepping stones and enjoy watching the wildlife from the discovery hide.
