Drop in | Included with admission

Aimed at ages 5-11 but all are welcome

Unleash the power of play, invention and imagination. Tinker with tools, create with all kinds of materials and discover the joy of making. What will you make?

TINKER away! With stuff, tools, your ideas and find out how things work, learn some tool skills and see where your curiosity will take you.

MAKE something! Anything! Use the huge variety of resources we offer. Get hands-on, creative and make your ideas (or our challenges) come true. Make something super big or really small and wow yourself and us too.

PLAY about! Push your imagination, raise your curiosity and simply play away. Whether you get into play mode during some maker challenges or in our play room, we love seeing families at play.
