“Nice lovey walks... but NOT very Dog friendly at the cafe!”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 29 January 2012

Having grown up with the good fortune or living within 10 minutes of Attenborough Nature Reserve, I have enjoyed many picnics, walks, bike rides and jogs at Attenborough Nature Reserve. My children have also have spent many fun days with us there, now they all grown up and 2 have left home. I recently have a new member to our family, our little Newfoundland puppy, the first real walk we took her was of corse at Attenborough Nature Centre, after our little walk my husband and myself fancied a warm drink, but the cafe does not catter very well with outside seating for people with dogs..... they have a lovely veranda at the side of the cafe if you are dog free.... alittle thought into some seating outside for people with dogs would be nice... also a service hatch for people to get served if on there own with dogs would be great too. I mean come on lets face it at least 40% of people that go down for walks have there dogs with them! Wake up Attenborough Nature Center its good catering for schools & disabled but what about the dog loving community!
