Happy 🎉

Play is the catalyst for how young children learn and make sense of the world, and it’s vital for healthy brain development.This is why play and hands-on learning are fundamental elements to our interactive galleries, museum and workshops.

It’s also why we’re transforming our heritage galleries into interactive, multi-sensory spaces as part of the Synergy Project opening in 2027.

So, if you’re looking for a day packed full of STEM learning, look no further 🙌

The FIFA World Cup 2026 is almost here! ⚽

As the world's most popular sport brings people together across generations, it's also a great reminder of the importance of outdoor play for children's physical health, social development and cognitive growth.

Whether it's football, climbing, running or simply exploring, active outdoor play helps build stronger bodies and healthier minds.

This is your sign to inspire the next generation to get outside and play. Our outdoor play area is open to all, and we’re located on Spike Island, with plenty of open spaces to play on 🌳
