Interesting and original - A really informative and well put together experience, real lava is dropped down into the arena and as it slowly cools is poked and prodded whilst we are provided with as much information as we require. Children would love it but also educational for adults.

Unmask Mario! - We had Ian leading the event and he was so informative and engaging with the audience. Putting his previous primary school teacher skills to good use! He was really wonderful and I noticed him chatting to someone after the show who had managed to corner him and he was friendly and happy to answer all the questions.
The show itself was brilliant - we learnt so much about volcanic activity and lava that we felt quite embarrassed to not know.
We wonder who Mario is? Take off the mask!
I really would recommend it if you’re in the city. We done the last evening show and we chose the premier option which was a lovely experience.
Thanks so much for adding to our trip, some great memories.
