During this time of year, we have some of the best views of Mars in the night sky.
Come and take part in our mission to Mars to find out more about this fascinating planet! We’ll explore its surface, find out how hot it is and see how different life would be from living on Earth through a variety of fun experiments and live demonstrations.
Show times: 11.30, 12.30, 2.30 – advanced bookings can only be made up until the day before. 01477 571 766. On the day, we operate a first come first served basis.
