YOUNG SCIENTISTS, GATHER ROUND FOR A POTION-MAKING EXPERIMENT! Step into Core Café, where curious minds can become potion makers and create their very own enchanted experiment as part of their Monsters & Myths Trail.

This hands-on quest is perfect for every budding scientist, magical explorer and their grown-up! Unable to join the potion-making experiment on the day?
