Description: 

Step inside 62 West Wallaby Street (the home of Wallace & Gromit) to explore a fantastic world of innovation.

The interactive exhibition appeals to all ages, using the much loved Oscar®winning characters and their famous 62 West Wallaby Street home to showcase how innovation contributes to everyday life, while looking more closely at some fascinating inventions from our history.

Each room in the house is full of hands-on activities, fun and games: pop into the living room to experience the Oscar® winning duo’s very own creation -the Tellyscope II; step back in time in the 1960s kitchen to experience familiar brands and adverts and belt our your favourite songs in the bathroom’s karaoke shower.
You can see the life changing creations that grew out of the simplest of ideas- and the half-baked ideas that never got off the ground (“chocolate tea pot Gromit?”)

Why not unleash your inner inventor and get top tips on how to protect your own big ideas. Oh- and watch out for Wallace and Gromit who could make an appearance at any time!
