Attraction Information

Are you looking for an attraction that's quirky and wonderful? Imagine That! The Art and Science of Child’s Play is an amazing unique discovery centre for families with younger children (1-10) offering hands-on science activities, arts and crafts, science shows, slime workshops and plenty of play and exploration!

Enjoy a day out for families of children aged up to 10 years. Join them on a three-hour journey through four zones of art, science, play and exploration.

Things To Do

Your day out will include a three-hour tour with forty-five minutes in each of their four zones! Psst...all activities are included in your admission, even anything you take home!

From role-playing in a variety of buildings in the Imagination Village, like the theatre, car wash salon and American Diner. To busy building in the Construction Area where you can work with a conveyor belt and cranes! There's plenty of workshops to get stuck into while you're enjoying an imaginative play session!

Next up, is the ever-fun and creative Artbeatz art area! Activities include painting a car, digital graffiti (with a FREE souvenir photo), making some tunes on the music wall, getting crafty with fridge magnets or diving into some art-themed activities! Express your creative side and don't be afraid to get a little messy. Here you'll also find access to the outdoor area (weather permitting), where you can find the Builder's Bootcamp, a giant sandpit to play in, a dino and fossil area and so much more!

Enjoy a bit of magic and science? Head over to the Bright Sparks Science Zone filled with some amazing hands-on interactive exhibits, shows and workshops. From the Pump and Splash water area, the Electricity Zone and Whoosh Zone to the Dark Room and a giant interactive ball wall! It's an entire zone filled with snazzy science and fun-tastic play! Also, the Science Buskers will be looking for volunteers to take part in their workshops, fancy giving it a try? There will also be some spy academy workshops during the summer... Where you'll learn code cracking, safe-breaking and clue-solving!

Finally, get stuck into the ooey gooey in their Slime Factory. You'll find more workshops, shows and big tubs of gooey slime!! You'll find a dry ice sensory science show with a secret make-and-taste ice cream recipe at the end! 

With so much to see and do, one visit might not be enough!
