Xplore Science Shop & Cafe

07/09/2026

There comes a point in every science-filled day when someone needs a sit-down, a snack or a coffee. ☕

Our café is your chance to pause between exploring, compare notes on the best exhibits and decide where to head next!

Be honest, on a family day out, what comes first: coffee, cake or lunch?
