Lorraine Kelly Officially Opens New Visitor Facility

The latest addition to the upgrades at Camperdown is a new purpose-built Visitor Centre facility. The Centre features a contemporary cafe with an outdoor patio area. The glass walls offer great views into the Wildlife Centre and the adjacent Camperdown Golf Course. Also located within the Visitor Centre is a welcoming reception and gift area, and a new multi-use Learning Room with computer connections, cinema-style projector and interactive white board for learning sessions. The room, which can also be hired for private functions including meetings and parties, offers a variety of themed lessons, slide shows and presentations.

The Visitor Centre was officially opened on Friday 22 April by TV celebrity, Lorraine Kelly, who cut a giant jute ribbon at a small reception attended by those involved in the project and invited guests. The ribbon will be recycled to make bedding for some of the animals at the Wildlife Centre.
