Little Sparks: Where little sparks ignite big wonder

Designed for curious 3–5-year-olds, we invite children and their carers to explore science through play, hands-on discovery, and age-appropriate activities from 9:30am - 12pm.

Take your time exploring SparkLab’s interactive exhibits with your little ones, discover something new at the Science Bar, or explore the wonders of Earth and space at our Science on a Sphere. With gentle experiments, sensory exploration, and plenty of space to imagine, spark their curiosity in a fun and welcoming environment—perfect for preschoolers taking their very first steps into science.

Join us for a morning of discovery, wonder, and play. Book your tickets at your preferred entry time from the available dates.
