Members Family Morning: Out There In Space
Start your day with a cosmic adventure designed just for our members.
Join us for a relaxed, out-of-hours experience filled with discovery, creativity and hands-on fun inspired by the mysteries of space.
Touch meteorites, the original stones from the sky that were once mistaken for volcanic rocks. Discover how these ancient fragments may hold the ingredients for life and why some scientists call them living rocks.
Then get spacey with hands-on crafts and move through atmospheres in an interactive show where we’ll experiment with what it takes to spark life beyond Earth. As we travel beyond our solar system exploring space, we’ll reflect on the extraordinary biodiversity of our own planet and just how rare it might be.
This is your chance to experience the sensory wonders of our Space: Could Life Exist Beyond Earth? exhibition, from smelling planets to touching pieces of the Moon, in a relaxed, family-friendly setting.
