Say hello to some of our very special furry friends. 🐾

Last week, it was a pleasure to welcome Guide Dogs North East with their adorable bunch of puppies in training! As this wonderful bunch of pups prepare for their responsibilities in the wider world, our attraction gave them plenty of new sights, scents and sounds to explore.

We're proud to welcome assistance dogs on our site. If you require more information on accessibility to prepare for your visit, don't hesitate to get in touch with the team who will be happy to assist. Simply send an email to [email protected] or message our social media.🧡

[Visual Description:
A group of young guide dog puppies in training visit the Magna Science Adventure Centre. The puppies, wearing their yellow and blue training jackets, are exploring the exhibits with their volunteer handlers. The curious dogs sniff around and wag their tails while learning to stay calm in a busy, echoing environment filled with science displays and visitors.]
