Weekends and over the school holiday, families can take part in the science show, ‘Extreme Weather’ where audiences will see lightning as it happens, and witness an amazing fire tornado! Little ones can join in the fun with ‘Wanda and the Weather Woman’ for an exciting journey around the world. In this interactive storytelling session, under 8s get to encounter different climates, understand why there are seasons in the year, and find out what the weather is like on the other side of the world.
And over at the IMAX Cinema, the family Christmas films The Polar Express 3D: The IMAX Experience and Santa vs. the Snowman 3D are now showing. The Polar Express is a magical animated film, telling the story of a doubting young boy and his journey to the North Pole to find out if Santa really exists.
