The hands-on experience is broken into four interactive zones where balloons will also be burst by lasers, there will be the opportunity to get messy learning the difference between light and paint colours as well as lessons as to why certain objects light up in the dark and discover the link between ultra violet and submarines.

How can a laser pop a balloon?

Doc.Yard is running at various intervals each day and timed tickets can be pre-booked on arrival.

The Dockyard, which has been closed for the winter, is celebrating its 400th anniversary this year with a busy calendar of events alongside the guided tours, historic ships, galleries, temporary exhibitions and gardens which are across its 80 acre site.
