We are OPEN EVERYDAY! If you are looking for something a bit different to do, why not come along to our award-winning Visitor Centre in Padstow, you will have the chance to all learn about lobsters, local marine life and also find out about the pioneering marine conservation work we undertake in order to enhance the wild lobster population in our seas.
At only £29.00 for a family of two adults and two children for a year's entry, no wonder we win awards for offering our visitors best value.
