Guests can come face-to-face with sabre-tooth tigers and woolly mammoths

The Bewdley-based attraction will reopen daily for the summer season from February 16.

During the event, guests will be encouraged to help on-site paleontologist, Dr Nock, find some missing Ice Age animals. They will have to search and explore the exhibit – which opened last year – collecting factors about the animals they encounter. Once they have completed the challenge, they will be able to collect a prize.

There will also be fun arts and crafts in the Craft Club and be in with the chance of winning an annual pass, by taking a selfie with the park's woolly mammoths.

Holly Ashworth, marketing and park events officer, said: "We are so excited that our summer season starts and to celebrate, we are starting the year with a prehistoric adventure for all of our guests.

"During the schools’ half term, our new Ice Age-themed Explorers Week offers lots of fun for children and adults alike. We hope families will bring along their little explorers and will enjoy searching for the missing animals, whilst learning some fun facts along the way.”

Explorers Week activities are included in the standard admission charge. For more information, call 01299 402114 or visit www.wmsp.co.uk.
