A lively, hands-on exhibition that takes children on a journey through the Solar System with characters from the Horrible Science TV series. They can programme a rover, feel how strong they'd be on other planets, sniff stinky space, see a real astronaut toilet and touch a piece of the Moon, then dance on Disco Planet. It's recommended for ages 7 and up, with some parts for younger children; under-4s go free.
