Activities for under-7s

Explore pop-up play areas designed especially for our youngest visitors. Fun, hands-on activities include rocket building, measuring and creating a giant marble run!   

See a rainbow indoors, get to know Planet Earth and listen to some noisy toys with our Discovery Dackpacks. Collect from reception to use throughout your visit.  

The Listen Discovery Backpack for under-4s includes musical instruments and toys that make interesting noises. The Look Discovery Backpack for ages 4+ includes coloured filters and glasses that enable the wearer to see rainbows indoors. The Earth Discovery Backpack for ages 4+ includes items made from natural materials, such as a slice of wood, to help children make connections to Earth and the great outdoors through touch and feel.  

(Limited availability. £10 refundable deposit required on entry). 

Let your little ones explore a fascinating world designed just for them. Here they can create make believe meals and entertain in the mini- kitchen and café and learn to recycle everything (it’s never too early to save the planet!) 

There’s light play, a chance to build creations and soft play of course. And for a moment of calm, cosy up in the Book Nook.  

If you loved the Young Explorers’ Zone, you’ll recognise some old favourites here as well as some new activities.
