Social distancing and additional safety measures will be in place.
Trust Chief Operating Officer Kevin Peberdy said: “We are delighted to be able to welcome people back to our wetlands after this extended period of lockdown.
“The lockdown has forced many of us onto the side lines while spring’s great spectacle plays out, and what better way to catch up, than with a visit to our wetlands to see what nature’s been up to.
“It’s certainly been busy – above water and under water, our wetlands are teeming with wildlife.
“We’ve made a number of changes to help everyone stay safe. Most importantly, we’re asking everyone to book online so that we can limit numbers and make sure there’s plenty of space to enjoy the wetlands in peace and comfort.”
In line with Government guidelines, Washington Wetland Centre’s indoors areas and areas where people gather, including play areas, cafes and shops, will remain closed.
All events, presentations, activities and talks are postponed until further notice.
The charity’s wetland centres in Arundel (West Sussex), London (Barnes), Martin Mere (Lancashire), Slimbridge (Gloucestershire) and Welney (Norfolk) will also open their doors to the public tomorrow.
