The annual Easter Fun Day is the Centre’s biggest family event of the year.

From faceprinting and jumping castles to craft activities and reptile encounters there’s something to delight kids of all ages and plenty to keep the grown ups smiling too.

Kids and parents can fuel up with a sausage sizzle, a meal at the Wetlands Cafe, or bring their own food for a picnic on the grass.

The main activities finish at 1pm but families who want to extend the adventure are welcome to stay on and enjoy the Centre’s nature trails until 4pm.

“This is one of our most loved community events,” said General Manager James Wilson.

“Easter Fun Day is the one day a year we go all out for families.

“Our team of volunteers love seeing the joy on kids’ faces and they work hard to put together a value-packed program.”

Money raised on the day goes towards the Centre’s vital environmental conservation work and wildlife care.

“It’s fun with a purpose,” said Mr Wilson.

“As a volunteer-run, not for profit organisation, every ticket sold helps us care for this incredible place.”

Located in Shortland, the Hunter Wetlands Centre is internationally recognised as a wetlands of significance.

The 45 hectare site contains a variety of natural wetlands ecosystems and is visited by 200 species of birds annually. Most recently the critically endangered Regent Honeyeater was spotted on the grounds.
