Opened by HRH Prince Phillip, Duke of Edinburgh on 26th March 2001 The Natural World Centre is a state of the art visitor centre in the heart of Whisby Nature Park, a local nature reserve with six miles of walks around five lakes.
Inside The Natural World Centre visitors are welcomed by our team who are keen to make the visit a memorable one. The Centre is on two levels, a ground floor and lower ground floor and has been designed to ensure access for all.
On the ground floor to the right of the entrance is an extensive giftshop which stocks not only mementos of the visit but also many fair trade and environmentally friendly gifts. Walking through the giftshop enables the visitor to talk to our team about all aspects of their visit at reception and go on to one of two exhibition spaces. On the ground floor exhibitions change on a regular basis in an area overlooking both the 'Boardwalk' balcony and Thorpe Lake, and through a curved introduction area visitors can descend to the lower ground floor exhibition 'Our Changing World'
To the left of the entrance visitors can enjoy the fayre offered in the Boardwalk Cafe, the Cafe provides visitors with a chance to buy fairtrade drinks and homemade cakes or partake of a delicious breakfast or lunch.
Through doors at the rear of the building visitors emerge onto the Boardwalk balcony with stunning views over Thorpe Lake. From this balcony it has been possible in previous years to watch swans and their cygnets in close proximity, or to watch stunning sunsets at all times of the year.
