The Look Out Discovery Centre has over 70 interactive exhibits designed to entertain and educate children and adults of all ages. In the Light and Colour Zone visitors can 'Pluck' the laser beams of the Light Harp to make a little light music or freeze their shadow on the wall.

The Forces and Movement Zone is where you can make your own short film and animate it. Build a wobbly bridge or try to steady the balancing broomsticks. You can see inside your body in the Body and Perception Zone.

In the Water and Woodland zone, float leaves in the stream, design a tree or crawl through a giant mole hole. It's time for lift off in the Forces and Movement Zone! Launch a hydrogen rocket, spin a giant orb or send a huge hot air balloon skyward. Challenge your body and brain in the Body and Perception zone.
