Step into a world where science and light collide to ignite your senses. Through hands-on interactive play, come on a colourful adventure as you explore the science behind light, the fastest traveller in the universe. Packed full of vivid hands-on activities and interactive exhibits, this exhibition will have you bending light, blending colours, dancing with shadows, and transforming your reflection.
