Poo-tastic activity trail
Join us on a unique and quirky trail dedicated to animal droppings. Have fun with various activities as you learn some poo-mazing facts.
- Booking not needed

In the wild, animals see poo as something valuable – it can be used, reused, recycled, and even played with. Have a go at our fun games like cow pat frisby, roll balls like a dung beetle, and try to identify the poopetrator. It’s an adventure that’s sure to be a hit with the whole family.
