"Ca' Tassi" Visitor Centre is the core of the services offered, located in a panoramic position. It is the result of a recover of an old rural complex. Inside the building there are activities aimed at protecting and enhancing the Reserve, as well as:
- reception centre for getting information and purchasing illustrative and educational materials;
- natural and ornithological exhibitions
- research and experimentation workshops for school groups
- display of fossils and minerals
- multimedia education tools (panels, interactive games and educational boards)
- upstairs, auditorium/conference room
- outdoors, the picnic area
- control unit for weather and climate data.
In 2007 a new photovoltaic system was installed, accompanied by a data display able to inform about the electricity produced and the quantity of carbon dioxide not released into the atmosphere. It could be said that Ca' Tassi is the first example of a regional energy centre that is autonomous and eco-sustainable.
Opening times: Saturday afternoon and Sunday (all day): all other days by reservation. In August, December and January the facilities are closed.
