Not sure where to start?
You can learn about Newtonian physics from our bumper swing, or why not travel back in time and meet our resident Woolly Mammoth? Our exhibits are designed to be accessible for interested minds, so make sure you come ready to learn and explore.
Looking to push the limits?
We also have the Science Squad club which meets once a week on a Saturday between 10:00 and 13:00 where you’ll get to explore and experiment with our team of experts. Kids and teens will get to create their own experiments, with help from on hand professionals.
Bored over school break?
During the school holidays we run special holiday clubs where you can join other children your age to go on a journey of discovery. Each holiday we pick a new theme to explore. To find out more about the holiday club and how you can join, send us a message.

For Adults
For Teachers
As a community-driven museum, we want to work with schools to create places of learning and exploring. Our team are on hand to give your students guided tours of the museum, teach them in our learning laboratory, and provide great video presentations that will excite and inspire them.
Please get in touch with us here to find out more about our facilities and to arrange a time to bring your students through for a visit.
For Researchers
Are you looking to get involved with our team of researchers and academics? Our museum offers various ways for you to use our resources and contribute towards them. We have online records, laboratory space, and a working relationship with a number of universities around the country.
For Parents
Parents can support their children's interest in science by creating an environment that encourages curiosity and critical thinking. Engaging in conversations, providing access to science materials, conducting hands-on experiments, and visiting science-related events or museums all contribute to fostering a lifelong love for science.
