By popular demand, Air Playground has extended its stay at Scienceworks until 27 January! 

Play with air, the amazing invisible elemental force, and experience hands-on the science of aerodynamics.

Whoosh, swirl, gust, squish, flow, float and more at Air Playground!

Float objects in mid-air, place material in fast moving air-jets, squish a giant inflatable tentacled sculpture with your body, launch balls sky-high with compressed air and craft paper planes to soar and more.
