We have family games and events going on from March to November and there's always the chance to run around on the island and let off steam. Borrow a Wey Explorer backpack from Visitor Reception and see if you can identify the wildlife making a home at the Wharf. Browse the bookshop for a huge selection of books and then flick through them over a nice cup of something in the tearoom.
