Kids on deck - maker space

Underwater explorers

Be inspired by underwater exploration and maritime archaeology as you enjoy art making and experiments with your family. 

Create your own ship models and diorama dramas, sculpt clay treasures, sew a softie sea creature or recycle bottlecaps and marine debris into new usable creations like bubble wands and carabiners with our plastic recycling machine. Join in some bubbly experiments, excavate a shipwreck dig site or dress up as your favourite aquatic creature

Entry included in any paid admission. Members/Annual pass holders FREE. 

All ages welcome. Recommended for ages 4–12 and carers.
