About this space

Xplore! Science Discovery Centre is a hands-on science museum defined by practical interactive exhibits that visitors operate themselves.

Design: The interior is open-plan and industrial, featuring exposed ceilings, polished floors and modular plywood exhibit platforms that form clear activity zones under bright natural light.

Features: The venue contains multiple hands-on exhibit stations and runs staff-led demonstrations; a PA system and speakers are available and organisers may play their own music or bring a DJ. The venue also provides Wi‑Fi, air conditioning, step-free access, accessible toilets, lockers, a small cafe and picnic-style benches for brought-in lunches.

Ideal for: Families and education groups seeking relaxed, hands-on exploratory sessions and informal social time.

What sets it apart: A Changing Places room fitted with a ceiling track hoist, a height-adjustable sink and a Gilbert toilet provides fully accessible changing facilities.

What guests say: The space is highly interactive and exhibits operate reliably, and staff run engaging demonstrations and offer practical help. The space also provides practical amenities such as clean toilets, lockers and picnic seating that support longer visits.
