Ocean Planet
We may call it earth, but it is truly our Ocean Planet.
The amazing diversity of our oceans is still being discovered. The deeper we go the clearer it becomes that we all have a stake in what happened to the seas. Scienceworks is explaining to us how our planet is so special to us.

Special Effects
Fall down the side of the Titanic, escape from past and future worlds, or ride a virtual 3D roller coaster. These are just some of the thrills that you can have on video forever when you experience the magic of Special Effects the sequel, at Scienceworks. The cameras will take you on a journey of excitement, action and unbelievable encounters when you are the star.
