We are very busy accommodating school tours at this time of year and are not open to the public whilst the schools are onsite. It is essential to book tickets for available tours in advance as there is a limited capacity. 
Rocket-ober’ with the new generation of Heavy Lifters. Explore how to make a model rocket that can lift more weight! (after all, we can’t get to the Moon with a small rocket!).
Students in 3rd-6th class will have a chance to design and make a model balloon rocket to carry the largest possible load and will explore the science around forces and motion as they test their design.
