During Play Saturday's space day, children can follow a star trail around the shopping centre and solve questions about space, physics and astronomy. The space laboratory uses real research tools for pipetting colourful planets, preparing superpowers for a rocket, colouring space and collecting space debris with robot hands. Scientist Pi closes the programme with a science show featuring foam, slime, bubbles and other space-themed experiments.

- Price notes
- The programme is free. Shopping and restaurant purchases in the centre are separate.
