The Discovery Zone


What is the Discovery Zone

The discovery zone is an activity area for kids to experience science first-hand with equipment that allows you to fire a vortex or air, send secret whisper messages across the room, colour your shadow and much more. All our activities are hands-on and we encourage you to explore science by playing.


The discovery zone is suitable for children aged between 5-12 years old, but the whole family is always welcome!


Get more out of the discovery zone by combining your trip with a show or workshop for only £5 per person. Upcoming shows are listed to the right.


Discovery Zone Themes

The discovery zone has been divided into five main themes: Light, Forces, Sound, Magnets, and Problem Solving. Each one of our interactive exhibits fits into one of these themes and contains instructions on how to complete the challenge! More information on our themes can be found to the right.
