Exploration Zone
Imagine a space where children can create their own experiments, test their own designs and make their own discoveries. A space that challenges them to think and ask questions and to develop ideas and solutions through scientific play. Each of the hands-on exhibits in our Exploration Zone is designed to give children the freedom to explore, experiment, create and discover – at their own pace and in their own way. The Exploration Zone is open to those with tickets to Family Days, not STEM Clubs.
