All operations, including opening times and staffing levels, are reviewed annually in light of budgetary constraints. As a result, some centres may experience a change in the length of their season. This review attempts to keep all sites with a guide service open, albeit with a restricted service at seasonal sites.
The 2010 and 2009 seasons were similar in length and in general it is felt that the reduction in visitor numbers in 2010 is due to the current economic climate.
