Drop In | Included in admission
For ages 2-5 but all are welcome
Discover, build, play and explore together at our weekly Mini Museum Engineers sessions, where little minds build big ideas!
Designed especially for children aged 2–5, these hands-on play sessions introduce little learners to the exciting world of STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Maths) through creative, open-ended play. There's no right or wrong way to explore—just plenty of opportunities to experiment, investigate and have fun together.
Each week, our museum gallery is transformed into a unique play space inspired by real museum objects, collections and exhibitions. Children can discover child-friendly engineering challenges, investigate fascinating materials, build, test and create using a wide range of hands-on resources. With a different set-up every week, there's always something new to discover.
As they play, children naturally develop confidence, creativity, problem-solving skills and curiosity about the world around them—all while enjoying quality time with their grown-ups.
