Windmill Animal Farm
A friendly hands-on farm whose star turn is the miniature railway running out across the fields. Animal handling sessions, indoor play for wet spells, and it never feels too big.
WWT Martin Mere Wetland Centre
Burscough, Lancashire
A wetland reserve where the wildlife performs: otters at feeding time, flamingos in the lagoon, and in season a canoe safari through the reed channels that feels like a proper expedition at seven.
Check the feeding-talk times on arrival - the otters are the anchor. The canoe safari is seasonal and weather-dependent; confirm before promising it, and bring binoculars for the hides either way.
Know before you go
- The otter feeding talks are the moment - times are on the board at the entrance.
- The canoe safari is seasonal and weather-dependent - check before you promise it.
