On land

Off the water we run engaging and fun children’s activities designed especially for inquisitive minds.

Run from Mondays-Thursdays throughout school holidays, we will transform youngsters into nature detectives, teaching them all about the wonderous wildlife that lives in Rutland Water. 

Or, perhaps a day of pond dipping, bug hunting and exploring the nature reserve is more up their street? If so, then located at our birdwatching centre in Egleston children aged 7-11 can get active and learn more about creatures big and small. 

Celebrate with us

Rutland Water is also the perfect setting for children’s birthday parties. 

With a whole host of children’s activities available, including watersports and raft building, we can host a birthday party to remember. 

And, for something extra-special, we also offer themed parties including our popular Really Wild parties for little ones looking to delve deeper into the world of nature.
