Your choice...visit and complete activities or Grab & Go selecting items from the DIY table to take and make at home! (bags provided)

NOTE: The concept of Grab & Go here means that you still need to gather which materials you would like from our selection and ask for a bag to place them in (unless you prefer to bring your own), or you may take your selections to carry by hand if you prefer; we do not have pre-assembled kits or bags ready to go as we leave the choice up to you to pick what you would like.
