Whilst pond dipping and hunting for mini-beasts in our Discovery Zone, we’ll be focusing on the remarkable lives of dragonflies and damselflies. With jet-propelled bottoms, jaws that inspired the film ‘Aliens’ and wings that can be adjusted individually, these are just one family of awesome creatures you will encounter as you explore the ‘Zone’, before having a crafty time creating your own dragons.
