WWT Arundel

Fantastic place to visit all year round always something new to see. So glad I bought a membership it's great value for money

Excellent site to see a huge variety of birds in natural surroundings, main entrance is looking a little tired but don't let that put you off, the admission staff are very helpful and welcoming, inside the main building is a gift shop and cafe, once outside you immediately see a large area of water with lots of different birds, walkways then lead you around the site with a number of hides en route many sited opposite areas of water, there is a picnic area with tables and benches close to the main entrance.
Parking is free and on site.

Today was my family’s first visit to WWT Arundel. What a wonderful place. The site is well maintained and set out. The staff are friendly and welcoming. The boat rides are a highlight. The wildfowl are well treated. The cafe serves simple but well prepared food and the gift shop is well curated (particularly the range of books and bird-themed picture books). We will definitely visit again.

What a fantastic place. Whatever happens, take the boat ride. Joel was our guide and boat captain. What an absolute legend. We learnt loads and he really went out of his way to make sure we enjoyed ourselves. He even backed the boat up after spotting a Peregrine falcon and passed his binoculars around so that we could see it. You’ve hired the right man for the job there Wetlands. Did we see a Kingfisher? With Joel’s advice, yes we did! Exactly where he said it would be.

Absolutely beautiful flora and fauna. We loved the meandering walkways that gently guide you through the park. There's something to discover around every bend. I particularly loved the sand martin nesting bank, which was brimming with life. The wooden reed walkway, the willow objects, fences and sphere, and the Wetlands Secrets hut were other highlights. Not to mention the birds and the hides. It all feels very natural, and with the woods as the backdrop even a bit like a European jungle, yet is easily accessible. You can see glimpses of the castle between the trees, which gives everything a magical feeling. Personally I liked the wilder parts of the park more than the fenced in areas with the more exotic birds.

We went on a slightly drizzly Friday and it wasn't crowded - we actually thought it was the perfect weather for the scenery and there were many options for shelter. If you want to go on a boat tour, don't hesitate booking, as they fill up very quickly.

Lovely time there, and we had beautiful weather. Saw lots of different birds. Easy to get round with a wheelchair. It's disabled friendly.
We ate there in the cafe, but there are places to picnic. It has places and things for children to enjoy.

Lots of opportunities to see birds here - although it will be 90% ducks and gulls. Great to wander around for 2 hours and very pushchair accessible. Cafe has a lovely view over a wetlands area too. Ideally would've had more variety in birds.
