Besucherzentrum mit Informationen und Landschaftsmodellen zur Entstehung der Krickenbecker Seen, Ausstellungen, Aussichtssteg und kleinem Café.

Das Infozentrum der Biologischen Station Krickenbecker Seen bietet Besucherinnen und Besuchern einen spannenden Einblick in die Entstehung und die Maßnahmen zum Schutz dieses Gebiets. Anhand von Landschaftsmodellen kann die Entstehungsgeschichte der vier Seen rund um das Schloss Krickenbeck anschaulich nachverfolget werden. Computersimulationen bieten Informationen zu heimischen Vögeln und Fledermäusen; 3D-Dias lassen Kinder wie Erwachsene in die Tier- und Pflanzenwelt der Bruchwald- und Seenlandschaft eintauchen; die Sinne werden durch einen abgedunkelten Hörraum, Mikroskope und Fühlkisten aktiviert. Zusätzliche Sonderausstellungen geben einen tieferen Einblick in die Artenvielfalt des Kreises Viersen. Vom kleinen Café gelangt man direkt zum Aussichtssteg mit herrlichem Blick auf die Wasserfläche des Hinsbecker Bruchs.

Das Infozentrum ist barrierefrei für Rollstuhlfahrer, für sehbehinderte Besucherinnen und Besucher stehen Audio-Guides zur Verfügung.
