The winter wildlife trail (weekends in December and Christmas school holidays) is family friendly, and takes you through the pinetum to the Iron Bridge. Ozzy the owl is visiting his friends but is struggling to find them, because some of them have gone to sleep (hibernation) for winter. Help Ozzy learn all about hibernation and why some animals sleep through the cold winter months.

If it snows, little ones can tick off one of their 50 things activities, number 15. play in the snow! Why not make a snow angel or snowman?
