Animate It
Create characters, dream up stories and make your own animations, inspired by Wallace, Gromit, and Shaun the Sheep!
Discover the magic of animation, in collaboration with Bristol animation studio, Aardman Animations.

Bubbles and Build-It
Build-It is for under 8s and their grown-ups. In this construction area, younger children can grab a hard hat and take on different roles to build a house from giant bricks.
The beauty and wonder of the 'Bubbles' exhibits are for all ages. Can you climb inside one? How is the air captured and held?
Lisa Whiting
Tinkering Space and Curiosity Zone
Giant puzzles, construction challenges, topsy-turvy mirrors, musical pipes - make some noise and have fun with the science that's all around us.
Find some materials in the Tinkering Space. Can you make something that flies? Or build a ball run?
