May Half Term

Tuesday 28th – Friday 31st May

Our science shows will be exploring the planets and our closest star – The Sun. Through interactive demonstrations we will look at what the sun is made from, how planets orbit, what it would be like to live in outerspace and there may be a fizz and a bang along the way!

Science show times: 11.30, 12.30, 2.30 and 3.30 (Shows are suitable for 5 years +)

If you fancy an outdoor adventure, borrow one of our backpacks and learn about the Solar System as you make your journey along the Planet Path. Backpacks contain a map, instruction sheet and activities to try as you stop at each planet along the way.

TICKET RESERVATION INFORMATION Science show telephone reservations cannot be made on the day of the science show. All bookings must be made by 5pm on the previous day. The remainder of the show tickets will be given away at reception on a first come first served basis on the day.
