Things to see and do

Two floors of immersive play spaces, called Story Worlds, form the heart of Discover. Your Day Pass will give you access to these, our garden and cafe for a full day. You can add timed sessions in our Exhibition, Storytelling Sessions and Events to your booking too.

Story Worlds

At the heart of Discover are two floors of magical Story Worlds and a Story Garden. These are immersive, exploratory play spaces where children and their imaginations can roam. Your Day Pass gives you all day access to our Story Worlds. If you’re booking timed events, make sure you allow yourself Story World play time too!

You might want to spend an hour or all day on our Story Worlds.
