FAMILY FUN
Taking to the stage Settle back and prepare to be entertained by an exciting schedule of family-friendly stage productions over the coming months. Seska will be bringing his brilliantly inventive, super-silly magic show to Cambridge Junction on 15 June. The following month, Fun Kids Science Weekly – Live! visits the same venue on 27 July as part of its first UK tour, featuring hilarious experiments, exciting guests and a real-life meteorite. Meanwhile, at Cambridge Corn Exchange, you can see Milkshake! Live on Holiday . Join the gang for an all-singing, all-dancing family show on 28 July. junction.co.uk, cornex.co.uk
Mad science Challenge young minds, and make some fascinating discoveries yourself, with more than 20 hands-on exhibits and plenty of opportunities for experimentation in lab and workshop spaces at Cambridge Science Centre. Special themed events are also held regularly, as well as thrilling 30-minute live science shows covering topics such as DNA sequencing, space exploration, dinosaurs, sound and bubble science. cambridgesciencecentre.org
Code cracking From now until 2 November, you can spend the day searching for clues along Imperial War Museum Duxford’s Amazing Aircraft Top Trumps Family Trail. Grab a free activity trail sheet and head to the Battle of Britain hangar, where you’ll find top trump cards hidden throughout the exhibition. Unscramble their letters to uncover the secret code word! Of course, there’s lots more to see while you’re at the museum too. If the sun happens to make an appearance, there’s even a multi- sensory outdoor play experience for aspiring pilots! iwm.org.uk
Soft play When running around outside isn’t an option, soft play steps in to help little ones burn off some energy! Book ahead for the Fun Barn soft play at Bury Lane near Royston, where there’s an imaginative children’s playground for those aged ten and below, with slides, balance beams, cargo nets and even an interactive sensory area with bubbles, fibre optics and colourful lights designed for babies under two years and children under ten who have additional needs. Or just turn up to Partyman World of Play on the outskirts of Cambridge for multi-level play structures, ball pools and obstacles. partymanworld.co.uk, burylane.co.uk
