It’s back! The Monsters & Myths Trail returns this October, with new spooky stories and spectacular science! Use your Mythical Map to find different legends hidden in our immersive galleries and take part in fun interactive activities. You’ll collect stamps along the way, and discover myths like dragons, kelpies and werewolves! Your final spooky stop will be in our cafe, where you’ll mix your very own potion! 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. Measure, mix and investigate as you brew your very own Dragon’s Magical Potion. Mix the ingredients, watch the potion change colour before your eyes, and discover the surprising science behind the magic. 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? Pick up a special take-away jelly pot and continue your magic science adventure at home. Please note: All potion ingredients are vegan.
