There are opportunities for the children to see the amphibians close up and to handle them. Chaz was very brave holding this Fire Salamander (photo by Boo).

Welly Boot Land which opened in July promises "Water, logs and ropes combine to make a thrilling experience".

We have some video to upload here but don't have the right connector for the video camera - watch this space.
