SURREY NATURE CENTRE AT GREEN TIMBERS

Nestled within GreenTimbers Park, the Surrey Nature Centre is a place for kids and adults to explore nature. There are lots of fun things to do here; you can borrow an activity backpack from Reception and adventure through the forest, check out our pollinator garden as it grows in the spring sunshine, look for tadpoles in the pond, borrow a fishing rod to fish at the lake, and so much more.
