The Gallery is on two floors and from the entrance foyer you can either go directly into the Discover Gallery or take the stairs up to the Imagination Gallery on the first floor. You can also, like Charlie and Willy Wonka, travel through space in the Great Glass Elevator between the two floors.

Price starts from £6.50 for Adults, £3.00 for Children(3-15 & under 3s free) and £25.00 for Family(1 Adults and up to 2 children).
