This is an easy and super fun day out for kids ages 5-12. I even brought the baby along and he had a great time, too.
The centre features over 70 different hands on science exhibits. There is a large water play area, plenty of challenging maths puzzles, a room with light and colour exhibits, a sound and communication zone, human body puzzles and some exhibits about recycling. We spent several hours touring the different areas. There was definitely something for everyone.
After a disappointing lunch at the cafe (next time we'll bring a picnic) we headed outside to the Adventure Playground.
Wow! Check out this castle. Kids were having a wonderful time running through the forest and collecting branches to build elaborate tee pees. There were separate play areas for 7-12 year olds and 3-6 year olds. There was also an accessible playground featuring lots of unique equipment.
I think my kids would have played for hours, but, this is England. We headed for the car when the first raindrops started to fall. And just as I got everyone buckled in, the downpour began!
We all loved the Lookout Centre. It's on my list of places to return to- and I'm even thinking of having our next birthday party there. Doesn't that sound fun?
Fantastic! I went to school in Bracknell for 3 yrs, and babysat my way through for spending money. If only this had been open then!! (found you via SITS today, but OMG I am going to stalk your blog bc I lived in Berkshire for 12 years, have been back Stateside for 9, and STILL miss the UK every day.)
