Visited weekday in the school holidays with my 4 year old granddaughter. Plenty car parking space and when we arrived there were lots of cars already parked. However, as we moved around the site there was never a time when we felt crowded. Everything is spaced out with ample space for everyone to enjoy. There was a range of play equipment in different areas, well maintained and age recommendations. The bouncy pillow was great and again, separate ones for younger and older children. Loads of animals to see and a timetable of activities given to us on arrival so we could decide what we wanted to do. The tractor ride to the cow field was good value at 50p each - very informative. We groomed the donkey, brushed rabbits and watched a funny magician show. We took a picnic for lunch and there were plenty of picnic tables. The cafe served a range of food and drinks. Good toilet facilities and lots of handwashing / sanitizing facilities around. So much to do - a great day out. Daily charges were reasonable considering the range of things to see and do - would definitely recommend.

Rainton Meadows is just one of 35 nature reserves owned and managed by Durham Wildlife Trust. The visitor centre and children's WildPlay area area open seven days a week from 10am – 4.00pm. The centre has a range of facilities including toilets, a classroom, meeting rooms and a fantastic coffee shop. There is an excellent network of accessible pathways linking viewing areas that look across the lakes and wetlands, with areas of grassland and woodland completing the habitats on site. Rainton Meadows has developed into a significant area for wildlife over the last 20 years. The wetlands and grasslands support a wide range of birds and over 200 species have been recorded. Waders such as redshank, oystercatcher, lapwing are regularly seen and also more unusual species such as little ringed plover. All five species of UK owl can be seen at different times of the year and there are good numbers of warblers, finches, tits and farmland birds. Stoat, weasel, brown hare and roe deer are regularly seen and the wetlands attract numerous dragonflies and damselflies. Butterfly numbers are also high, particularly grassland species.
