Hi, The Living Rainforest is open 7 days a week - During the school term period it can get quite busy between 10.30 - 2.00pm with school trips. On school holidays and weekends we offer a wider range of activities and free guided tours. The visit time will vary but is usually one and a half to two and a half hours (Longer in the summer with play area being warmer). We also have a café serving hot and cold food. The ticket is an annual ticket so you can come back throughout the year and see the seasons change inside the glasshouses!
