February Half Term Fun at Science and Industry Museum

February Half Term Fun at Science and Industry Museum, Castlefield, 15–23 February 2020, free entry - Visit now

When school holidays arrive you know you’re always guaranteed some half term fun at the Science and Industry Museum! Dedicated to ideas that have shaped our world, the museum is packed with child friendly exhibits to pull, push, turn, watch and just generally experiment with. Gather your family and make your way to the museum for loads of transport-themed fun.

The Science and Industry Museum is all about rolling up your sleeves and getting stuck in (you might need some energy snacks!), whatever age you are. This half term find out how the way we travel has changed in their interactive science show. Then have a go at designing and building your own mode of transport with the help of some magnificent DIY machines.

There’s plenty going on for the pre-schooler in your life too. We love their Construction Packs, full of tools that turn toddlers in to mini-builders or mechanics. Check out the details below for a full list of the daily half term fun.
