Our new gateway to the natural world
The Gateway
An Doras (UN DOH-rus), also known as the Gateway, is an immersive and exciting space connecting amazing global species to wonderful Scottish wildlife through games, technology and stories of the past, present, future, animals, people and places.
The Learning Hive
A' Chaonnag (A' CH UH- nyak), also known as the Learning Hive, will give groups and communities the chance to explore the world of wildlife, providing accessible programmes to connect people to nature and conservation through engaging sessions and outdoor learning.
Conservation Den
An Saobhaidh (UN SUH-vee), also known as the Conservation Den, offers 360 degree views of the landscape, looking into the area of the park where our wildcats are bred for release into the wild. In the den, visitors can sit, take a moment and explore the amazing conservation work that is happening.
