The Very Hungry Caterpillar at Marwell Zoo

Hold on to your sandwiches! The Very Hungry Caterpillar is visiting Marwell Zoo!

This summer, Marwell Zoo in Hampshire is proud to be hosting a fun interactive trail inspired by Eric Carle’s bestselling children’s book, The Very Hungry Caterpillar. The trail tells the popular children’s story through a series of supersized 3D installations, which are sure to thrill fans. Augmented reality (AR) elements will allow guests to view extra content through a smartphone or tablet making the experience even more immersive.

Guests will be able to follow The Very Hungry Caterpillar’s many, many footsteps, winding their way through the giant apple, pear archways and plum tunnels! So make sure you count 1 apple, 2 pears, 3 plums, 4 strawberries and 5 oranges before arriving at a virtual feast of cheese, sausages, cake and sweets. Then snuggle up safe and warm before turning into a beautiful butterfly with the butterfly wings photo opportunity suitable for all ages.

The interactive trail is guaranteed to ignite imaginations and provide lots of photo opportunities, counting practice and creative play. This trail is designed to be just long enough for little legs but those with energy to spare at the end can enjoy learning about the rare and endangered resident animals around the rest of the park.
