MAGNA
CENTRE
Sheffield Road, Templeborough, Rotherham
This is an interactive centre full of thrilling experiences.
This is an adventure for all the family that demonstrates the power and
force of the four natural elements: air, water, fire and earth.
Imagine what you could
do - cook up a storm, go deep underground, play with fire (safely) or
get naughy with water. In the water zone (Aquatek) you can shoot at
human targets with a water cannon and use water power to launch a rocket.
You can also create a boiling geyser.In the earth zone you can be involved
in a working quarry. You can take control of a JCB, shift huge rocks
and even explode a rock face. Plenty more attractions as well.
