Are you looking for exciting activities to enjoy with your little ones? Visit Life’s Young Explorers' Zone, specially designed for under 7s.
This hands-on area lets children explore a garden with a tree house, a shop, a cafe, a kitchen and a recycling centre. They can grow vegetables, prepare a meal, visit a cafe and sort out the rubbish for recycling. Everyday activities for grown-ups, but all new when you’re 4!
It’s an exciting, stimulating and safe world where children get to take charge, learn new things and have fun.
The area is part of a wider range of activities for little ones. Young visitors can also enjoy a specially designed show in the North’s biggest planetarium and pick up a pre-school activity trail from reception.
We also run a number of pre-school days designed to help very young children explore and engage with the world around them.
Life is FREE for children under 2. Separate charges apply for pre-school days.
