Are you ready for an action-packed family adventure this summer? From 9th July to 11th September, get set for electrifying science, out-of-this-world space journeys and outdoor nature explorations at Winchester Science Centre. Plug in and power up for a brand new exciting free live science show, Sparks, all about electricity. Be wowed by two spectacular Planetarium shows. Head off into the great outdoors for some nature discoveries. And don’t miss out on the immersive hands-on science fun and huge ‘don’t try this at home’ demos. Sparks – free science show Continuing Winchester Science Centre’s 20 years of wow celebration, this summer visitors are invited to take a trip down memory with a return to the popular electricity show theme – but with a retro 2002 twist. Over the past 20 years the way we use electricity has radically changed and we rely so heavily on electricity to power our lives. But what is it and how is it generated? Let’s find out together in Sparks. The Planetarium The days may be longer in summer, but the stars are always shining in the Planetarium. Visitors can add on an unforgettable presenter-led live show or subtitled film show. Blast off into space with Solar System Adventure and experience a magical journey through the stars. What does it take to travel in space? Watch what happens to Chad’s body during a rocket launch and float around the International Space Station with him. Bio:Space – indoor and outdoor adventures This summer visitors can uncover the minibeasts and bugs that make their home there. Check out the ant and mealworm homes inside in Bio:Space before following the spotters trail to the Butterfly Conservation reserve. Kids can also have fun in the mini adventure playground and there’s lots of picnic spots outside for those sunny days. Immersive science fun and huge demos Don’t miss the hugely popular, and huge in size, explosive demos in Science Live that take place right on the exhibition floor throughout the day. These are definitely not ones to try at home! Families can also embark on an exhilarating adventure through the Science Centre’s immersive exhibits including the out-of-this-world Explorer:Space zone and tuneful sound, hearing and vibration exhibition. And don’t forget… When all the adventure gets a bit much, visitors can relax in the Science Centre’s two cafés. With hot and cold drinks, cakes and snacks, a small hot food offering and, of course, ice creams, there’ll be something on offer to re-energise everyone for an afternoon of more fun For more information and to book tickets visit WinchesterScienceCentre.org.
