Inside you can explore the four elements of earth, air, fire and water and have fun firing giant water canons, launching rockets, boarding an airship, spinning in a gyroscopic chair and working real JCB’s. Experience two spectacular shows, the Big Melt a spectacular sound and light show and step into the personal world of the families of steel in the UK’s biggest multimedia show The Face of Steel.

Air Pavilion

More than 15 metres overhead, high up in the rafters of the building is the Air Pavilion. This giant suspended 'zeppelin' is home to an array of exciting hands-on air-themed activities. Visitors can create stunning patterns with air cannons, witness a selection of humorous and disastrous attempts at early flight, take a spin on a gyroscopic chair and examine the air in our own bodies.

We can't see it, smell it or taste it. There's 5,200 million, million tonnes of it surrounding the Earth. We need it to breathe. This is the story of air. How it creates forces, motion and sounds.

Earth Pavilion

Filled with chunky hands-on games and attractions, such as real-life JCBs to control, hoppers and buckets to race and fill, and a quarry to explode. This earthy experience is guaranteed to get your adrenalin pumping and sort the workers from the shirkers and the foremen from the labourers!

Water Pavilion

Hours of 'soaking fun' are to be had in the Water Pavilion. This wonderfully lit giant steel wave houses a selection of interactive games and challenges that explore the astonishing nature of water. The huge, steel Water Wheel seems to power the whole pavilion and raining clouds overhead mean that your chances of staying dry in 'Water' are very slim!

We drink it. Wash in it. Swim in it and life depends on it. It's 60% of our bodyweight and covers 70% of the Earth's surface. It carves landscapes and creates floods, monsoons, rivers and oceans.

Now you can throw it about, get wet, squirt and spurt. Turn wheels and race to lift it. Flush yourself away in the Water Pavilion.

Fire Pavilion

The blazing Fire Pavilion is a perfect place to dry off after the fun of the waves in the Water Pavilion. The burning atmosphere creates the perfect ambience for the awesome five-metre fire tornado and the clanging and banging of the electromagnetic crane - just some of the mesmerizing attractions available to touch, feel and experiment with in this pavilion.
