Tips

Great day out, loads to do & keep the kids busy.

Lovely day for the whole family! Took our 8 year old, 6 year old and my 3 year old niece. From the warm greeting when we walked through the doors, to the minute we had to leave as the kids were so worn out, we had a fabulous time. My eldest especially loved the robot drawing machine he was able to invent and everyone (even the grown ups) loved the experiment floor! Can't believe it is free, will have to go back again soon :)
