Take a seat in our Lightning Theatre and be mesmerised by this visually stunning 30-minute live science show.
You’ll be in awe of the science of glow as we explore the fascinating processes behind luminosity, including the many ways a glow can be produced.
In this 30-minute show developed specifically for early learners, we’ll make mini versions of weather, including clouds, rain, rainbows and mini lightning. The show will finish with giant lightning bolts from our Tesla Coil. Please note, the Tesla Coil is very loud and may frighten some children
