Six halls, rotated twice a year. Everything is at kid height, which is why the grown-ups end up kneeling.
Make real lightning behind very thick glass, then find out why your hair has opinions about it.
Ages 6 and up
Dams, locks, whirlpools and an Archimedes screw the size of a slide. Ponchos provided, dignity not.
All ages · You will get wet
A planetarium for short attention spans: eleven minutes, one comet, and the loudest sun we could legally build.
Shows on the hour
Real appliances, real screwdrivers, zero instructions. The one room where breaking it is the assignment.
Ages 8 and up
Forty metres of track, six gates, and a queue of adults pretending they are here to supervise.
All ages
Our robot. Rivet sorts blocks, loses at noughts and crosses on purpose, and waves back every single time.
Sessions at 11:00 and 15:00
Book online and skip the queue, or just turn up; we hold back a hundred walk-in places every day.
