Jet Set, Go…Explore the Airport with At-Bristol
From 7 July
Kids are in for a treat from 7 July when Jet set, go touches down in
Explore-At-Bristol. Back by popular demand, this exhibition designed
especially for under 8s, lets little ones experience the hustle and bustle
of an airport and the thrill of flight.
Through playful and creative games and activities, Jet set, go stimulates
children’s curiosity about the world around them. They can discover what
it’s like to work in a busy airport or on a plane, taking in all the
excitement of going away on holiday. From the action in air traffic
control to landing logistics on the runway, there are plenty of fun-packed
flight challenges to enjoy.
Once their passports are stamped at check in, children embark on a journey
of discovery, moving through baggage x-ray and on to the activities in the
aircraft cabin. Here they can listen to the globetrotting tales of Freddy
and Teddy or try to pack the right kit for different destinations around
the world. Will it be hot or cold? Do you need snow–shoes or flip-flops?
Next there are some air traffic troubles to solve in the control tower and
it’s time for role-play and dressing up. Using the clocks, radar screen
and radio they can guide all the planes in the sky to sort the problem
out.
Jet set, go has been created as a touring exhibition uniquely for children
under eight and strikes a balance between independent activities and the
chance for children to play and learn on their own, in groups or with
their adult carers.
The exhibition is part of the Let’s imagine series, comprising three
touring exhibitions designed by At-Bristol in partnership with Satrosphere
and Inspire science discovery centres. It has been funded by the
Millennium Commission with support from the Garfield Weston Foundation.
Jet set, go opens on July 7 and admission is free with a ticket to
Explore.
