Based at the mouth of the River Spey on the southern side of the Moray Firth on the east coast of Scotland, our centre is about an hour’s drive from Inverness. Set on a 450 hectare nature reserve with exhibitions, café and shop, it’s a fantastic day out! 

The Centre is based in a wildlife haven that is home to ospreys, grey and harbour seals, otters, wildfowl and waders. Part of a 450 hectare nature reserve, it is a breathtaking and truly unique part of Scotland.

Attractions include:

•    Our Underwater World experience, in the biggest Ice House in Scotland
•    Extensive education and outreach programme for children and schools. Find out more.
•    Walking on the beautiful Scottish Wildlife Trust Reserve
•    Watching otters, ospreys, seals and other local wildlife
•    Listening to live underwater sound from our sonobuoy and exploring our acoustic exhibition
•    Café Wild; relax and unwind with delicious homemade cakes and a cup of tea
•    Gift shop with a fantastic selection of souvenirs
•    Spot some of the biggest bottlenose dolphins in the world using our binoculars and telescopes



Directions to the Centre:

The A96 runs between Inverness and Aberdeen and Spey Bay lies about half way along. Turn off the A96 between Mosstodloch and Fochabers onto the B9014 which branches off along the River Spey. Turn where you see the brown Tourist Information sign for the Moray Firth Wildlife Centre. Follow this road all the way to the end where it forks and the right fork will lead you to the WDCS Wildlife Centre car park.
