Science is not just about facts and knowledge, it's about asking questions about the world, testing your ideas, comparing things, talking to others about what you've found and having new ideas based on your discoveries.

The Curiosity Zone is a place that gives you the opportunity to think like a scientist, not somewhere that tells you things scientists have already found out. 

There are no right and wrong answers, no instructions, no rules. You decide what you want to explore and how, and use your natural curiosity to make your own discoveries on the way.

You can be a scientist – just stay curious!

The Curiosity Zone is now open in its new, permanent location at the front of the Centre. It’s bigger, brighter and more interesting than ever; come on in and explore!

Arm yourself with the questions scientists ask: ‘What happens if…?’ ‘If I put these things together what will it do?’ ‘What can I see here…?”.

You can explore magnetism through sculpture, build a chain reaction, compose music, test your powers of observation, build a big machine... and that’s just for starters!

Curiosity is what you make of it – even if you make a bee-line for the same exhibit again and again, you can do something different every time.
