"The children I took this year were overwhelmed with the range of activities provided. They all came back inspired with science and I know this will hold them in good stead for their individual science fairs."

"We would like to pass on our thanks to the organisers. We had a wonderful day. We felt the children were in a safe environment and were so grateful for the free transport. We felt it was just right for the age group we took (yr 4/5)."
"Very beneficial as the children were able to see lots of science under one roof, some of which isn’t possible in a primary school."
