Awesome science stuff
The Science Shop is awesome. You'll find everything from pocket-money souvenirs to amazing experiments that you can do in your kitchen. It's best to explore everything in the shop early on so you can avoid the rush at the end of the day. When you've finished your visit, you can continue your STEM (science, technology, engineering and maths) journey when you get home.
STEM Souvenirs

And there's loads more! Get creative with puzzles, posters, models and STEM-themed construction kits. There's even astronaut ice cream – yippee!
