About this event

​​Light up your curiosity at Illuminate! Bend light, make music with sensors, and play with lenses across 13 hands-on exhibits.

Step into a world where science and light collide to ignite your senses. Through hands-on interactive play, come on a colourful adventure as you explore the science behind light, the fastest traveller in the universe. Packed full of vivid hands-on activities and interactive exhibits, this exhibition will have you bending light, blending colours, dancing with shadows, and transforming your reflection.

As you journey through the exhibition, discover how light behaves, where it comes from, how it reflects and refracts, and explore the tools humans have created to harness its power.
