Great family days out at England’s finest nature reserves
Discover some exciting, imaginative ways to explore the great outdoors, and have fun with your family trying out new things together.
Play camouflage and tracking games, paddle and make boats and rafts, get sticky with glitter and glue, build alternative sandcastles on the beach, join in forest lantern trails, squelch through wetlands, jump across a giant stone jigsaws, become a nature detective, or simply relax and listen to the tide come at night surrounded by glowing sand holes.
Do all these things and more at National Natures Reserves across the country from windswept coasts to rolling downs, magical woodlands to open heaths and hillsides, there’s something different happening all year round, both night and day!
Have a look at our events for special family days in your region – including many during the school holidays - when our staff will be here to welcome you and help you make the most of your visit.
