Forbidden Planet International — Science

I enrolled my son in the Forbidden Planet International Science program in Manchester, and overall, it was a solid experience. The weekly sessions focus on creative projects, and my son had a great time building a model rocket last week. The instructor, Sarah, was very engaging and encouraged the kids to think outside the box, which I appreciated. However, I did find that the space got a bit crowded during pick-up time, making it somewhat chaotic. Despite this, my son made a couple of friends and thoroughly enjoyed himself. He is quite creative, and this program really nurtured that side of him. The price is on the higher side for a weekly activity, but I think the hands-on projects make it worth considering. I would recommend this program with a heads-up about the crowding during drop-off and pick-up.

My daughter recently attended the Forbidden Planet International science program in Manchester, and overall, it was a solid experience. She’s 9 and has a strong interest in comics and science, so this seemed like a perfect fit. The instructor, Leo, was enthusiastic and really engaged the kids with fun science experiments related to comic characters. They built a small model of a rocket, which was both educational and exciting for the kids. I appreciated that the group size was small, allowing for personalized attention. The only downside was the long lines for check-in, which made the start a bit chaotic. My daughter, who is quite creative, loved making new friends and even shared ideas with them about comics. I would definitely recommend this program, especially for kids who enjoy hands-on projects and character-driven learning. Just be prepared for some wait times during pickup.
