Visited many years ago good then. But what a surprise we all had much better now. Reception area much improved great area for children indoors with activities. Outside all on the flat so easy access for all. Cafe light and airy. Saw lots if birds. The highlight was seeing all the swans being feed at 3pm. Great day was had by us all.

Always enjoyable, we visit several times a year and this year have taken family and friends to see the swan feed. It always amazes and impresses ! Lunch is always fine in the café, hot food and a selection of sandwiches etc. Helpful staff and volunteers everywhere !

I visited Martin Mere with a friend on a Sunday afternoon and had the most fantastic time! The staff are engaging and the place is just magnificent. I was slightly worried that it would be somewhat child orientated but it wasn't.I loved the otters at feeding time, and really enjoyed the observation areas where you can just sit and soak up the atmosphere.

We arrived in the afternoon and, after looking at the entrance charges which were very oddly priced (ordinary concession was £8.12 or something similarly silly), decided it would probably be better coming for an entire day. I thought the exactitude with working out how much a non Gift Aid price was a bit pedantic - why not just charge £8? Working in a place open to the public, I know you don't have to be quite so particular in setting prices!Since I was there I thought I'd at least buy a few postcards - but there were none of Martin Mere itself. There were plenty of the London Wetlands Centre and plenty of random birds, but none of the reserve.Before we left we thought we may as well have a cup of tea and a snack but making our way to the cafe we were stopped by a member of staff and told we couldn't go to the cafe because we hadn't paid and he couldn't let us go outside. I just thought this was rather petty and, having genuinely decided to return on a day when we could spend longer there, don't feel especially inclined to do so now. The person with me said, "Well, that's us told!" and indeed we felt like somewhat naughty children.My visit was a family visit but Trip Advisor does not have the option for the type of family so I put friends instead.

We took one of our grandchildren during half term. We thought it was quite expensive especially if we had taken the other 3. Make sure to buy the bird food, it's only £1 a bag and its goes far with little hands. There's plenty to do and shows to watch to keep you all entertained. Take a picnic as there's seating so you can eat and watch the birds at the same time. There's plenty of places to wash those little dirty hands. When you've had enough of the birds there's the play area which is large and safe. Try it out you won't be disappointed.

Great day out! Loads to see and do, for young and old alike. Put on your oldest shoes though. You never know what you may be walking in!
