Easter Family Fun

We've got a fun-filled programme of activities planned to keep the family entertained over the Easter holidays. Professor Egghead is back with interactive live science shows, brand new WaaatttsZaaap! and an old favourite Animal Avengers. There is also a puppet show and storytelling for the younger chidren. We have a series of family friendly drop-in activities as part of your Discovery Experience visit, try your hand at the robot arms and create wonderful seascapes with Lego.

LIVE SCIENCE SHOW: WaaatttsZaaap!

Egghead has some great new gadgets and toys but no batteries! He needs some clean power from renewables and perhaps using turbines and tides or turning the sun into fun might just help?
