Plan your education visit

A visit to our two exhibition floors can be combined with practical STEM workshops or longer theme days in our classrooms. Spark interest and build confidence in science, whilst ensuring exceptional value for money. 

How it works 

We take bookings for school and education groups up to a year in advance. 

We offer our full education programme including workshops and shows Tuesday to Friday in term time. Education group visits to our exhibition spaces can also be booked on Saturdays and Sundays.  

Our term time dates correspond with the Bristol school holidays.
