On Saturday 17 December, Esplora will host none other than Mr and Mrs Claus and their band of merry elves! These very special guests will visit the centre for an event guaranteed to teach children about science while putting the whole family in the festive mood. The event will take place in the morning between 9am and 12pm, and feature a range of activities including a science show, an exclusive screening of the Esplora Planetarium film Dinosaurs: a Story of Survival, a gift and photo session with Santa and a special festive breakfast. For full details of the event, including menus for children and adults, see the official website.

Breakfast with Santa will take place this year on Saturday 17 December, at the Esplora Interactive Science Centre. For tickets, visit showshappening.
