Christmas holidays

Take some time out this holiday for a day of play and discovery, colour and creativity, across our two floors of intriguing things to do.

Make some music in our new Studio show, mess around with the senses in new Kitchen activity 'Rainbow Restaurant' and head to the Greenhouse to make your own winter bug house.

For some extra seasonal sparkle, add a Planetarium show to your visit and escape into the beauty of the winter night sky in the mesmerising 'Story of Stars 3D' (age 6+).
