We certainly love to play, and we bet you do too!
Wonderscope Children's Museum has dedicated itself to allow and encourage children to learn through the power of play. They have provided fun, inter-disciplinary exhibits revolving around arts and science for all those creative, inquisitive and playful minds under 10.
Now kids, unfortunately if you do come and play here you do have to follow one rule - Make sure you are hands on with EVERYTHING!
Think you can do that? They want you to touch, play, experience, learn and enjoy everything before moving onto your next super hands-on activity. Here, you can also play along with your parents! Parents - feel free to interact, join in and play with your kids, rather than sitting having a coffee on the side.
This museum is designed to be self guided, so if you or someone else needs something, make sure you ask! But remember - you are here to play, enjoy, laugh, and touch - it's the best way to learn here and by feeling and smelling and testing everything, you will begin to understand how everything works much more clearly. Trial and error!
There is a great Small Wonders room designed for children's from 6 months to 2 years or age where you can enter a world of make believe and pretend, create, climb, crawl, creep and play around this area designed especially for you!
They definitely have the child's best learning and development interest at heart.

There is a lunchroom available but they don't have any food service, unfortunately. You are more than welcome to bring packed lunches to eat, but consumption of food and drink is limited to the Picnic Zone.They need to make sure it all stays neat and clean for the next kids!
As you walk around from exhibit to exhibit, take your time and look at everything in the halls - it's just as interesting as what you are about to experience!
Students are more than welcome to go to Wonderscope for a field trip, as they will really tailor your experience to suit your needs. They will really encourage the children to learn through simple and complex forms of play. And they will have a great time!

There is a lift for wheelchairs, so make sure you ring the doorbell when you arrive so someone can come and assist.
If you plan on going more than 4 times a year, the membership will pay for itself, so make sure you look into that!
