Dive into discovery at WWT Arundel with an unforgettable pond dipping experience. From egg to nymph to shimmering dragonfly, discover a kaleidoscope of life living under the surface of the water's reflections. You'll discover spiky dragonfly nymphs, back-stroking beetles, and slippery newts living just below the surface. It's a hands-on adventure that brings families closer to nature, transforming a simple pond into a thriving ecosystem full of life, movement, and surprise.
With nets, dipping trays, and magnifying tools provided, visitors can examine their finds up close, using ID guides and the support of the Learning Team to uncover the stories behind each fascinating creature.
Pond dipping is an engaging way to get closer to nature, make surprising discoveries, and learn about the incredible life found within ponds. Whether it's your first visit or a return trip, each session offers something new to explore.
