A gold coin donation is requested as an entry fee to help with the maintenance of the animals.

The rainforest bird aviary is alive with colour and sound, and kids will love the barn, where they can meet calves, lambs, pigs and guinea pigs. Open six days a week, come and explore the incredible wildlife of Ipswich Nature Centre.
