The photographic and artistic opportunities at
Seaview Wildlife Encounter are superb – and all within
an unspoilt, natural environment! For close-up, clear studies
of animals and birds, photographers will be pleased to hear
that most of the Park's enclosures have "camera flaps"
- these allow for unhindered photographic images - with no fencing
or boundaries in the way. We welcome individual artists or painting
groups - bring a lightweight folding chair and enjoy the tranquillity
- whether choosing to make a study of the wildfowl at the lakeside,
or the free-flying birds and cascading water features in the
warmth of the Tropical House, or being nose-to-nose with a choice
of animals and birds out in the Park - the creative options
are endless!
So come on and enter our 2010 Wildlife Photographer of the Year
competition! Whether you're just starting out and keen to give
it a try, or a seasoned expert - there's an opportunity for
everyone!

quiz trail that keeps families busy and productive all day -
hunting for hidden clues and answers all around the Park - it's
not just for children - it's for everyone - why not make it
a fantastic, fact-finding, family
fun day out! You can download
this year's Quiz Trail here or collect one at our Main Entrance
Reception on your way into the Park.
New Activity Den and Discovery
Zone
For our younger visitors, don't miss the new 'Activity Den'
- our indoor play and learning centre. Lots of fun for the smaller
ones - giant floor puzzles, colouring-in and reading corners,
a choice of games, mini slides and tunnels and fun music to
sing along to!
New for mid year 2010 - two exciting new exhibits in our 'Discovery
Zone' (the indoor learning centre that's fun for all ages) -
Leaf Cutter Ants - our new marching colony of
live, worker ants - carrying leaves many sizes bigger than they
are - an incredible sight to see!
Also arriving mid 2010 - Harvest Mice - the smallest
and cutest of all our British mammals - busy and ready to be
shared with you - our new group of Harvest Mice will soon be
enjoying an active new schedule here at Seaview Wildlife!
