Lab workshop
45 minutes
Ages 7+
£2.50 per person (add-on to admission)

What should rockets be made of? How do astronauts survive inside rockets? What do rockets do?

Get hands on with rocket science in the KLA Lab. We’re investigating space rocks, the power of the vacuum of space and how to keep astronauts alive.

This IS rocket science.
