There'll be a raft of arts and craft where kids can make their very own magnetic toy - an icebreaker ship - while discovering all about the properties of magnets. Plus they'll find out what it's like to live and work in one of the coldest places on earth with dress ups, fishing games and more.

The hourly session will run from 10 am to 4 pm daily from 4 to 18 July. Tickets are $7 per child, adults free. For children aged 5-12 years.
