Mini Explorers

Under 8s get the run of the ArtPlay Pavilion's sensory play zones, built around paintings from the gallery's collection rather than off-the-shelf plastic. Grown-ups are welcome to join in rather than watch from the sidelines, exploring cushioned clouds and quiet corners together. A calmer, better looking alternative to the average soft play, worth the trip any day. Sessions cost £8 per child through the summer holidays.
