Things are going down with a splash at Castle Kennedy Gardens this Wednesday!

Join us on the 19th at 11am for an exploration into wet and wonderful water with our Water Laboratory! Our watery adventure will look at everything from water xylophones to ice archaeology in this fantastic adventure.

Dry off with a spot of lunch in The Tea Room, and then meet us back at Castle Kennedy Ruins for 2pm when we begin our second event: Ranger Raft Challenge. We’ll be trying to make a raft that can support something heavy to float right across a paddling pool! Do you accept the challenge?
