Plant a seed, join in with food experiments, set a hot air balloon off up to the ceiling. Get creative in our Food Zone and Flight Gallery. 

Home to interactive spaces exploring both food and flight. You'll find our Kitchen and Greenhouse here.

Food Zone

Grind flour, chat to our robot chef, learn to 'waggle dance' like a bee - celebrate the science in our everyday lives and get creative in the food exhibition.

This area explores where food comes from, different diets and the natural processes involved in growing.

Join in with fun, messy experiments and activities running daily in our Kitchen and Greenhouse.

These are drop-in and you can check times on arrival in our foyer.

Flight Gallery

All about air and flight, here you can whisper secret messages across the room, launch a parachute, inflate a hot air balloon and see how humans have long dreamed of take-off.
