Holiday to Space
The morning starts in our planetarium with our 20 minute Space Safari show filled with spectacular views of the planets up close and a chance to sing along to help Ted find the great big bear.
Afterwards a 30 minute workshop takes place in one of our learning spaces to find out a little more about Ted’s adventure to the planets, to choose one that would make a good holiday destination and to help prepare our brave teddy bear for the trip and stay.
