What visitors say
Such a fun experience. If going alone, one hour is enough time to engage innhandd-on activities. Their staff was helpful in helping capture videos or photos of me, too which I appreciated. It is a fun atmosphere. The free lockers upon entering is nice, too. I'd highly recommend this also to lean about what our eyes see and what our brain processes. There are great explanations throughout.

Busy bank holiday visit with the Family. So much fun involved! Can't recommend the place enough. A lot to see, do & try. Staff undoubtedly did their best too.

This is such a fantastic experience. Had an absolute blast but would definitely recommend coming early so that there’s less people around and you can take your time on each one of the modules without rushing for other people. They could improve the experience by a lot by adding selfie sticks or cameras to take the pictures and you could collect them at the end. That would save a lot of time for everyone. All in all a fab time!!
