Home Educator Day - Planetarium Experience

Spend a full morning exploring science through hands-on activities designed especially for home educating families. Our Home Educator Days combine interactive STEM workshops, access to our Exploration Zone, and themed drop-in activities in a welcoming environment where children can investigate, create and discover at their own pace.
Each event has a different theme, giving families the opportunity to return throughout the year for new experiences and challenges. Sessions are designed primarily for children aged 5–11yrs old, and are not suitable for those outside of this age range.
