Experience a Coal Mining Conundrum!

Calling all young engineers, builders, and problem-solvers!

Bring the whole family and step into our exciting engineering workshop, where teamwork, creativity, and clever thinking are put to the test. Use your special museum currency to buy materials, plan your design, and build your very own pit props strong enough to hold an incredible 20kg of coal!

  • Will your structure stay standing?
  • Can your team beat the challenge?
  • Do you have what it takes to become master mining engineers?

Get ready to build, test, solve problems, and have lots of hands-on fun in this exciting family engineering adventure!

Please note that one ticket is required for up to four people.
