Today we had a visit from Claire at the WonderDome. The year 1&2 children at Saughall All Saints had an amazing morning. From the moment they entered the hall and saw the dome to the moment they left, all children were engaged and captivated by their learning. It was a perfect way to embed their topic work which was based on the Moon Landing of 1969. I would highly recommend a visit from the WonderDome. We will certainly be having a repeat visit next time the topic comes round! Thank you Claire for all your knowledge.

Our Year Five Children had a magnificent day when the Wonderdome paid them a visit. Helen led the session brilliantly and our children were wowed by her and her knowledge. As part of our Y5 curriculum, Helen planned the session so that children learned mainly about the planets and their position in space, but also about moons, stars and space travel. Every child was made to feel included, all answers were taken as good answers and every child was given the time they needed to ask their important questions. I could not recommend this company more highly. We have ALWAYS been impressed by the Wonderdome team. Thank you again. We look forward to seeing you next year.

We booked the Wonderdome experience for a group of 5–6-year-olds, and it was absolutely fantastic! The children were completely captivated from start to finish — they loved every minute. The adults found it really enjoyable and informative too. The session leader was brilliant: enthusiastic, engaging, and perfectly pitched at the kids’ level, making complex ideas fun and easy to understand. A brilliant mix of education and excitement — highly recommended!

We booked wonderdome for our British Science Week events at the college and it was great! The presenter Harvey was really friendly and knowledgeable, and ran some really great sessions, ranging from nursery age, right through to Year 12. Really easy to work with and the scheduling of the sessions and what we could do with the booking was really amenable. highly recommended.
