Bracknell

The Bracknell Look Out Discovery Centre has been recognised yet again for the service it offers its visitors.

The centre has now been approved by the national tourist board’s Visitor Attraction Quality Assurance Service.

Following its inspection in October, the assessor said The Look Out was a very well managed and organised attraction with high levels of visitor welcome and care provided by friendly staff.

Its good presentation and interpretation was complimented, with the interactive areas maintaining the interest of visitors.

Additionally, the range of attractions both in the centre and with the woodland trails were particularly praised.

The accreditation means information on the centre will be available through the national tourist board.

The centre also has the charter mark for good customer service and has consistently been awarded four stars for the cleanliness of its toilets.

Cllr Iain McCracken, Executive Member for Bracknell Leisure and Corporate Services, said: "The Look Out is a well known and favourite attraction for Bracknell Forest residents and visitors alike and it just keeps going from strength to strength.

"Already a Chartermark award holder and dare I say it again, Loo of the Year Award holder for the 12th successive year, it has now added the National Tourist Board (NTB) visitor Attraction Quality Assurance Service award to its list of achievements.

"As visitors know The Look Out is a great educational and fun attraction for all the family. Now as an NTB Quality Assured Visitor attraction, even more people will hear about and can come and enjoy what we enjoy, the superb facilities at The Look Out. ”

The Look Out Discovery Centre is open from 10am - 5pm. As well as the hands-on science exhibition, there is a children’s adventure play area, free car parking, gift shop and coffee shop. Based in 2,600 acres of Crown Estate woodland, there is plenty of space for walks, cycling and orienteering.
