The Mystery of Ollie the Otter

About

Enjoy the thrill of this animal nature based 'whodunnit' for Halloween at WWT Castle Espie, Sat 25th & Sun 26th October

Like all wildlife these days Otters are under pressure from over development near their homes, pollution, general habitat loss, and illegal eradication to protect fish species - to name but a few.

As a junior detective of the L.A.P.D (Lost Animal Protection Department) join Lieutenant Spraint and Officer Holt to discover why Ollie the Otter is no longer with us - as in gone to the great lake in the sky.

Sessions:11:00 and 14:00 

Maximum of 30 detectives allowed (including the parents).' Allow up to an hour and a half or so to complete your investigation.

Suitable for ages 10+

Pre-booking essential.
