For the first time ever and just for kids the London Wetland Centre proudly presents Summer Sleepovers. An amazing night in the wild, exploring the animals and the elements in a safe environment and under the supervision of the qualified and trained education team. Each night has its own special theme: moths, bats and planets and stars.

The Sleepovers run from 6pm-9am (next day), maximum 15 children, 8-14 year olds and will cost £45 (to be booked and paid in advance).
