Molly's+Guide+-+ISSUE+2

Visit East Lincolnshire
take a break whilst the children burn off
energy. There are also child-friendly seating
areas for reading, puzzles and a large chalk
board for drawing. And, in good weather,
the whole family can enjoy a cart ride
around the farm.
Tours of a working brewery can be undertaken
as part of the Bateman’s Brewery Experience
in Wainfleet. There are attractions for the
whole family in the beer garden over-looking
the river where traditional pub games can be
played plus there is a well stocked bar for
Mums and Dads. The Brewery is a member of
Tastes of Lincolnshire and serves locally
sourced snacks.
Seals, penguins, tropical butterflies and birds
can all be found at Natureland Seal Sanctuary
situated at the northern end of Skegness
seafront. New for 2012 is the meerkat exhibit
where visitors can see these mischievous
animals foraging for food and basking in the
sunshine. Natureland has become known
worldwide for its rescue of orphaned baby seal
pups that become stranded on beaches around
the Wash and has been successful in rearing
and returning them to their natural
environment. Feeding time is a great favourite
with both children and adults.
A children’s favourite is the pets’ corner where
goats, sheep, rabbits, guinea pigs and chickens
can be hand fed. For those looking to spot
something a bit less ‘fluffy’, snakes, scorpions,
and tarantulas can be found in the
tropical house.
