Amazing Animals: Rainforests

When: July 27, 2026 to July 31, 2026 Time: 10:00 am to 04:00 pm Cost: £6 Suitable for: 3+ Event category: Animals

Venue: Christchurch Mansion

The live animals are back! Join us for a special series of Amazing Animals throughout the Summer, exploring different habitats. On Monday 27th July and Friday 31st July we will be meeting animals from the rainforest. Sessions are one hour each and start at 10:30 AM, 11:30 AM, 12:30 PM, 2 PM and 3 PM.

Parents and carers are required to stay with their children throughout the session. The event is recommended for children aged 3 and above, as those under 3 will not be able to handle the animals.

All adults and children attending must purchase a ticket. Babies in arms do not need a ticket, but they will not be permitted to touch the animals. Visit the Colchester & Ipswich Museums website to book your tickets

Each session is limited to 40 participants due to space restrictions in the Great Hall. Staff reserve the right to turn away anyone who has not booked. Please ensure that every member of your group who wishes to take part has a valid ticket before arriving.
