Calling all intergalactic inventors — it’s time to create a creature from the cosmos!

In this hands-on creation station, kids will dream up and design a wildly wonderful cosmic critter using colourful fabrics, pom-poms, foam balls, pipe cleaners and all the gloriously crafty bits you’d usually find rolling around at home.

Big googly eyes? Excellent.

Wobbly legs? Even better.

Hyperspace wings? Obviously.

In space, there are no rules.

Once constructed, creators will release their luminous lifeform into the Neon Space Garden inside Tank 5, a glowing UV wonderland where their bug will glow, radiate and orbit within its new habitat.

A joyful, slightly outrageous creative adventure where imagination glows, confidence grows, and no two space bugs are ever the same.
