Good fun for the kids and also for the adults. In such a small space there is a lot to see and do. It ranges from how the weather works to electricity, all hands on experiments. Plan to go there for the whole day. Take something to eat and drink too. More

Parents & older children will enjoy the spectacular & hair-raising 30 minute science shows. (Tip; for young children, start on the 2nd or 3rd floor where they... More
