Geo-Explorers Club – A kids club for young explorers aged 8 to 11 years. Join us for Earth science fun and hands-on discovery!

Based at The British Geological Survey Headquarters in Keyworth, Nottingham, The Geo-Explorers Club allows children to explore some of the coolest parts of our planet — volcanoes, earthquakes, rocks and minerals, and even dinosaurs and fossils!

Each session is packed with hands-on activities and fun experiments that help them discover how the Earth works in exciting, easy-to-understand ways. With real rocks, minerals, and fossils to hold and investigate, kids become mini-Geologists as they learn, create, and explore. It’s a lively, fun-filled club designed to spark curiosity and inspire the next generation of geoscientists!

The 5-week programme will allow kids to dive into different geology related themes each week.

For children aged 8 years to 11 years.

Monday - 16:00 to 17:00
