Imagine That! Liverpool is filled with many wonderful things for the children to explore and enjoy so you do have time for free exploration.
In our Science areawe have exhibits that demonstrate the power of air, our favourites being the scarf blower and the wind tunnel. We have excellent electricity exhibits such as our giant electric circuits, hand crank generator, giant electricity stick, and pedal power bicycles where the children can see how they can generate electricity. There is lots of fun in our dark room where the children can experiment with white light, leave their shadow on the wall in our flash shadow exhibit or write with light on our special board
A favourite with children and teachers alike is our giant bubble maker where the children can stand inside a ring and make a bubble that is potentially 6ft high! Unbelievabubble! In addition there are many other exhibits to enjoy such as the microscope, magnet table, alarm tunnel and on Target range.
OurPump and Splash Water Area is full of fun as the children pump the water to fill and tip the buckets and pump to turn the water wheel.
There is also panning for gold and general water play.
The Art Area begins in the ConservARTory with chalk boards, see through easels, mosaics and weaving.

Our craft table is a hub of creativity as the children are busy making different crafts andthis is where they will paint their fridge magnet. In this area is our signature “paint the car” where the children can take a pot of paint and leave their mark on our real car!
At the entrance to our Construction zone are lifesize dinosaur footprints that the children can measure their own feet against and this leads into a sandy area which is filled with diggers, sand sieves and dinosaur bones and fossils.
The children will then make their way onto the construction site where the they can don hi vis vests, hard hats and tool belts and get to work in an area that is always busy. There are two large cranes with which the children can lift and move “heavy” boxes. Or they can fill their wheelbarrows with bricks and then load them onto the conveyor belt to send them up to the top of the construction site.
