Exploratree play area at Westonbirt Arboretum

New and improved, our well-loved Exploratree play area is open again!

Designed for children aged eight years and under located in the central area of the arboretum, by the restaurant and shop. 

Through exploratory play children learn about the world and environment around them. This play area provides plenty of new opportunities for imaginative play – including collaboration and investigation! 

“Young Explorer we invite you to enter through the ‘Portal’, wind your way along the boardwalk to ‘Weather Station’ explorers’ house from where you can check today’s weather and then climb or hide to survey the woodland. Next stop: head out to scavenge for forest finds to bring back to the ‘Explorers’ Lab’. In this innovative forest laboratory get busy collaborating, measuring and investigating your precious natural forest treasures with fellow explorers you meet on the way! You might want to stay forever and become Westonbirt’s next generation of tree conservationists!”

This is a play space for all to enjoy – from toddlers to curious adults.
