What's Happening

  1. 🎃 I-Spy Halloween Trail

    Prepare for a museum-wide code-cracker trail!

    Explore Eden Camp in search of hidden clues, solve the mystery and see if you have what it takes to crack the code. Complete your trail and earn a reward from the shop.

    Your mission begins as soon as you arrive: simply collect your trail sheet from the gate box. Included in museum entry.

  2. 🔎 CSI Drop-In Sessions

    Saturday 24 and Sunday 25 October

    Step into the world of forensic investigation and discover what it takes to solve a crime. In our CSI drop-in workshops, young detectives can investigate clues, examine evidence and put their powers of observation to the test. Can you piece together the evidence and crack the case?

    Each session lasts 50 minutes, with a 10 minute turnover between sessions. No need to book a specific session, simply drop in and join the investigation.

  3. 🕵️ Fingerprint Detectives

    Monday 26 to Friday 30 October

    Get hands-on with forensic science and discover the secrets hidden in your fingertips. Children will learn how to collect, analyse and compare fingerprints just like real forensic experts, and discover what makes every fingerprint unique.

    Perfect for curious minds and budding detectives, this hands-on activity combines science, investigation and espionage to get young sleuths thinking like forensic pros. Included in museum entry.
