Age Groups
Under 5s
Guide your little ones in their first steps towards science with our fun exhibits and dedicated children's galleries. Under 5s can explore their curiosity about patterns, stage a puppet show and see the wonders of kaleidoscopes. A daily programme of drama characters includes the world’s first pregnant man!
Age 5-7
Children can have fun discovering science with our hands-on experiences. The famous Launch Pad gallery is full of interactive exhibits and activities, and daily science shows let kids see explosions and volunteer in experiments.
Age 8-11
We've got so much for 8- to 11-year-olds here that they really could spend all day exploring and still not see everything. Investigate science in our hands-on galleries, discover famous objects and see amazing effects in our IMAX 3D Cinema and motion simulator rides.
Age 12-16
Teenagers will find lots on offer here to stimulate and inspire. Our interactive exhibits and games challenge you to consider the future, and can even tell the sex of your brain! Regularly changing exhibitions reveal the latest developments in science and our IMAX 3D Cinema lets you see the world.
