Exhibition Highlights

Bring the family along to our Balloon Car Workshop, a hands-on activity where creativity and fun take the wheel! Running on December 13th, 14th, 15th, 21st, and 22nd, this workshop lets children design and build their own balloon-powered cars using materials like cardboard, cups, wheels, and straws. Once finished, test your creation on our mini racetrack to see how far it can go or challenge others for some friendly competition.

Perfect for ages 5 and up, with younger siblings welcome to join in. Everyone gets to take their car home as a keepsake. Led by our Senior Education Officer, this activity runs during opening hours and guarantees an exciting, educational experience!
