Family Fun Day: Magic and Illusions

Join us for a mind-bending day of magic, mystery and marvels as we explore the science behind the sorcery.

Discover how different illusions trick your brain and some of the science that makes magic possible.

You'll explore activities and demonstrations throughout the building and also get chance to watch some magical shows in our theatre.

Prepare to have your minds blown!

Family Fun Days are designed for children aged 6–12, but older and younger siblings also very welcome.

All 12 year olds and under must be accompanied by an adult and those aged 4 and above need a ticket to attend.
