Brighten up your winter holidays with Light Lab.
Get hands on with light, colour and sound in our Light Lab with free activities, illuminating experiments and immersive experiences for all ages.
Discover how to bend, block and move light with fun experiments and challenges. Make your shadow dance, view your reflection in our hall of distorted mirrors and face off against friends and family with our laser maze games.
Uncover the secrets of the night's sky and find out what makes stars twinkle. Create your own glow-in-the-dark headbands and wristbands before taking a dance break in our rave room.
Please be aware this experience has low level lighting throughout.
