Jet Set Go

Kids are in for a treat from 7 July when Jet set, go touches down in Explore-At-Bristol. Back by popular demand, this exhibition designed especially for under 8s, lets little ones experience the hustle and bustle of an airport and the thrill of flight.

Through playful and creative games and activities, Jet Set, Go stimulates children's curiosity about the world around them. They can discover what it's like to work in a busy airport or on a plane, taking in all the excitement of going away on holiday. From the action in air traffic control to landing logistics on the runway, there are plenty of fun-packed flight challenges to enjoy.

Once their passports are stamped at check in, children embark on a journey of discovery, moving through baggage x-ray and on to the activities in the aircraft cabin. Here they can listen to the globetrotting tales of Freddy and Teddy or try to pack the right kit for different destinations around the world. Will it be hot or cold? Do you need snow-shoes or flip-flops?

Next there are some air traffic troubles to solve in the control tower and it's time for role-play and dressing up. Using the clocks, radar screen and radio they can guide all the planes in the sky to sort the problem out.

Jet Set, Go has been created as a touring exhibition uniquely for children under eight and strikes a balance between independent activities and the chance for children to play and learn on their own, in groups or with their adult carers.
