PLEASE NOTE | EARLY START DISCOVERY SPACE WILL BE CLOSED FROM APRIL 7 TO APRIL 10 |  OPENING HOURS 

THE POD EXPERIENCE WILL BE CLOSED FROM APRIL 3 TILL APRIL 6 FOR UPGRADES

Grab a torch and let’s go exploring in our small dark cave. What discoveries will you make?

Watch your head as you enter our dark cave filled with the sound of dripping water and lots of little nooks and crannies to crawl through.

With all the walls, ramps and tunnels, it makes an awesome place for a game of play hide and seek.

Look closely and make sure to check behind all the walls and secret hidey holes – you might even spot some of the cave’s inhabitants.

Learn through play

Experiencing the sensation of exploring a dark, realistic cave space will encourage children to face their fears. They may take some time to work up the courage, but when they do, there’ll be no stopping them.
