Did you know we turn 25 later this year? 

To celebrate, we're busy delving into the archives to bring back some much-loved favourite activities. 

We're introducing two of these for half term week, alongside plenty of seasonal fun.

Please book your tickets in advance as we tend to become fully booked during weekends and holidays. 

What's on this May half term holiday: 
  • Take the 'Tongue Twisting Tastes' challenge in the Kitchen and then join in with some mouth-watering experiments.
  • Have fun exploring sound waves in retro craft activity ‘Listen Up!’ in Theatre of Curiosity.
  • Why are some plants more attractive to bees than others? Get planting in the Greenhouse in Feed the Bees!
  • Head over to Open City Lab for new activities all about diet and climate change in 'Plates for the Planet'.
  • Explore 'Nature Rising', a beautiful and inspiring new exhibition in The Box gallery.

All these activities are drop-in. Just check times on arrival. 

In the Planetarium

Add tickets to the UK's only 3D planetarium for just £4 per person (£3 open concession). 

Set off on your very own space adventure in Expedition Solar System 3D or explore the spring night sky in seasonal stargazing show The Ever-changing Sky 3D.

Due to eye health restrictions, 3D shows aren't suitable for children under 6. 

Instead little ones and their grown-ups can pack their space bags and prepare for launch in interactive show Space Explorers 2D.
