Where Science Meets Play
Our newly reimagined experience at the City Art Centre – play the role of scientist and let your curiosity run wild as you discover our living laboratory!
Explore five floors packed with hands-on activities designed for all the family to get involved in. Children aged 5–11 can also book entry to one of our premium workshops.
We are operating a standby queue at each workshop throughout the day – if there is availability in the session, children aged 5–11 may enjoy workshops in addition to their pre-booked space.
DiscoveryLab is not open on Sundays.
