What we'll do
Do you like building things? Become a research and development engineer for the day. Be curious, see how things work and how you can make them better. Strong bridges - Can you build a bridge that supports 1, 2 or 3 kilos in weight? Test out your idea and see how much load it can take before it collapses. Rocket cars - Build an air powered rocket car using K’nex. Test it and make modifications to improve its performance. Race it on our track to see how far it will travel in a straight line. You can book for the morning, afternoon or both sessions.

Cancellation Policy
Free bookings do not require refunds but as places are limited, please cancel if you cannot attend so that your place can be offered to someone else.

My experience consists of a leisure activity, on a specific date(s), and therefore the 14-day ‘cooling off period’ under the Consumer Contracts Regulations 2013 does not apply.
