During your visit

We offer different packages for schools. Most often, schools will book a workshop and science centre visit. We’d recommend browsing our workshops before making a booking.

You class(es) will visit our exhibitions that are appropriate to their age and a Planetarium show or Live Science Show will also be included (unfortunately we’re unable to guarantee both shows).
