The children had a blast (no pun intended)!
It was a day my boys will remember and talk about. They were so happy as were the others.
Exactly what it said on the tin...and more!
Would highly recommend and without hesitation give five stars for team, the venue, the lunch, the gifts bags and the support throughout.
Thank you Winchester Science Centre for making my boys birthday party a very memorable one.
