Toddler Takeover

Colour Spectacular!

25 Nov

10am-4pm

A whole day of play with our Toddler Takeover days!

Come and join us for our colourful Toddler Takeover - a day devoted exclusively to under fives!

Little ones will get the chance to:

  • Create leaf paintings in Live Lab - transform some giant leaves with amazing autumnal colours
  • Listen to new storytelling: Lights on, Lights off. The familiar faces of Ursa and Leo, spend an evening in a tent in the garden and are surprised by some noises and shadows from the darkness.  
  • Make their own shadow puppet, test them out on the shadow screen and take them home!
  • Spot twinkly stars in the Little Stars Planetarium show* (last show at 3.30pm)

Aprons will be provided but getting creative can be a messy process so maybe don’t wear your best dress!

As well as getting reduced entry, we'll also have lots of toddler-friendly facilities, including:

  • Breastfeeding room
  • High chairs 
  • Picnic area 
  • Buggy parks 
  • Nappy changing facilities

Plus Toddler Takeover days are also a great way to meet other parents and carers!
