Overview

You can visit the Birmingham Nature Centre which is home to a wide range of animals and reptiles from across the world, including some endangered species. If you visit regularly with your family it may be worth purchasing a season ticket by pressing the Request Nature Centre Season Ticket button above.

During your visit you have the opportunity to sponsor one of our wide range of animals. Your sponsorship will be valid for 12 months. You can purchase the sponsorship for yourself or as a present to celebrate a birthday or special occasion by pressing the Sponsor an Animal button above.

We will let you know when your application has been processed and you can collect and pay for your season ticket/sponsorship pack at the Nature Centre or you can send us a cheque and we will post it.
