Get pumped, Air Playground is back and launching at Scienceworks 9 December!
Whoosh, swirl, gust, squish, flow, float and more! The all-time family favourite returns!
Be transported to a 600 square meter dreamscape wonderland and marvel at, manipulate and understand the complex physics of airflow. At Air Playground you can levitate objects in a stream of air, engineer paper aircraft to hover or fly and tinker with diverting and blocking air flow at an experimentation station.
Air Playground is back at Scienceworks this summer by popular demand. The all-time family favourite returns reinvigorated with fresh experiences, activities and interactives that will blow you away.
Opening on Saturday 9 December 2023, Air Playground offers visitors a unique opportunity to explore and interact with the marvels of one of Earth’s most amazing invisible realms: air.
Step into a world of fun and discovery within Scienceworks’ expansive 600 square-metre exhibition space. This kaleidoscopic, hands-on exhibition will captivate young minds and science lovers alike, unravelling the mysteries of the atmosphere.
Explore the science of air through playful interactive zones including:
• Squish: Embark on a full-body experience as you grapple with a colossal, tentacled inflatable sculpture – it's like a giant hug from the air!
• Fly: Let your inner aviator take off as you craft and launch your very own paper planes in an aerodynamic extravaganza. It's an aviation enthusiast's dream come true.
• Whoosh: Brace yourself for a whirlwind of excitement as you ‘whoosh’ scarves through a tangle of air tubes then play catch as the scarves float dreamily to the ground
• Flow: Step into a dreamy breeze-filled wonderland where soft fabric tubes and floating balls that dance with the wind demonstrate mesmerising magic of airflow redirection.
