For the young scientist under eight, Kaleidoscope is just the thing for you!

Enter through the giant rainbow and learn about the fun world of science by altering the path of the Philatron, riding the miniature John Deer tractor by operating its lights, sirens and gear sounds and search for treasure in the mini gold mine. You will be fascinated by the creatures hiding in the enormous mushrooms and see the world through the eyes of a giraffe!

You're never too young to learn about science! Check out our new Curious Kids program which is especially designed for children aged 3-5!
