Saturday we visited the Lookout Discovery Centre in Bracknell. Inside was a science museum with lots of interactive exhibits. My first impression was that it all seemed a bit tired, but the exhibits were really well done and some very complex ideas were boiled down into simple to understand explanations and examples. Shame on me for judging a book by it's cover. In addition to the main room, there was a light & sound exhibit, a water play area and a construction play area.

Blast off!

And while the inside was fun, the kids enjoyed playing outside even more. There was a large playground with swings, a trampoline and a castle to explore.
The playground backed up onto Bracknell Forest and kids were encourage to make wigwams out of sticks on the ground. J supervised construction and the girls helped a bit, but K was definitely the master builder.
Only a 40 minute drive from London but it felt like a world away. I think we'll be coming back!
