Interactive science and nature discovery centre in Bracknell's Crown Estate forest. Hands-on indoor exhibits, themed toddler event days, an outdoor playground, and multiple forest walking trails. Pram-friendly throughout.
🏆 Funzaroo Verdict
Best for families with children aged two to ten who learn through play and exploration. The themed toddler days are specifically designed for under-fives and are the strongest single-visit draw for that age group.

“We went to a toddler space day as well as a normal Look out day. We thought both were brilliant. There is so much to see and learn, inside and out. The staff were welcoming, especially on event days when they showed us were to go and what time things were starting. The Discovery centre is cleverly laid out to cater for all ages and levels of understanding with things lower down which my baby happily played with too. Toilets and baby change facilities were spacious and well maintained. The cafe is fairly priced and we had delicious hot and cold food, which arrived in good time. The sausage rolls were great! The playground is wonderful too! We didn’t have time to fully appreciate it so we’ll be back! Thanks for a great couple of days out.”

“I've been coming here for years. It's great for kids, families, couples, walks, and snacks. There are a load of walks you can do in different directions, and not being in a busy area. The area near the children's playground does get busy, but my children used to love coming here. Now I love the walks with the dog and being away from traffic and in the woods. This does get busy at weekends, but head straight for the over flow car park for an easier time of it.”

“Very nice place, not just for kids ;) Lovely learning experience through experiments and play. Giving 5 stars despite the fact I find this place to be aimed at smaller children rather than secondary school students. Don't get me wrong, everyone can find fantastic things to do, including me, but majority (again, in my opinion) of things are for smaller people. We will be back to explore the outside which we didn't have time for this time. Combining inside (3h session) and outside fun would make a nice whole day out.”
