Ranger Den is usually open Tuesday – Friday during Dorset school holidays from 1.30pm to 4pm. Unfortunately, we may have to close Ranger Den if there are large scale events in the park. We are sorry for any inconvenience.

There is no charge to come in and look around, but donations are very welcome. Suggested donation £1 per child.

There may be a small charge for some occasional craft activities.
