Key Stage 3 and 4 visits are scheduled to start at 10am and finish at 2pm. Visits are self-led, we will send an itinerary 1-week before the visit, allocating times in each of the galleries. We recommend downloading our exhibition worksheets to help students gain more from the exhibits.

During the visit, you will have a Space Dome show and an Explainer-led talk. In the Space Dome, the group will watch an immersive film which covers topics like our cosmic origins, the evolution of stars, and the nuclear fusion that creates elements. The Explainer-led talk is about Jodrell Bank and Radio Telescopes, and it involves some demonstrations.
