Easter Holidays

Join us over the Easter holidays and explore nature from a whole new perspective!

Discover reality that's so bizarre you couldn't make it up and take part in weird and wonderful activities for all the family!

Join our "Green Engineers" to take part in activities, workshops and interactive exhibits.

Take a look at the world of poisonous plants, spiky plants, sticky plants, carnivorous plants and even exploding plants!

So here's a list of what you can look forward to experiencing:
Crafty creatures

Some creatures are pretty clever at camouflaging themselves - see how many you can spot, then dress up to play them at their own game!
Seed Bombs

Squirting cucumbers are just one of the plants that disperse their seeds by exploding. Make your own seed bomb, take aim and fire at the plant landscape scoring zone.
Designer Life

Plants don't look the way they do by chance - each feature is carefully designed to help the plant survive. Follow the Freaky Nature Trail to discover more, then head back to the lab to create your own designer version.
Big it Up

Check out plants on a dramatically different scale using powerful microscopes.
Nature's Flying Machines

Can you better the design of the sycamore seed? Join our Green Engineers and design your own flying seeds, then send them on a test flight in our hourly fly-past.
Bug Vision

You've tried 3D glasses, now try bug glasses! Get a bug's-eye view of the world and see if you can pollinate a flower.
Plants Behind Bars

Illegal plants, carnivorous plants and plants that kill - the bad boys!
Freaky Nature on Film

A cinematic view of the world of plants.
Sticky Survival

Become a burdock seed and hurl yourself at our Velcro wall to learn how stickiness can help your survival. Additional charge applies. (Additional charge applies for this).
