Power-up your imagination

Whatever the weather, Enginuity offers high fun, high action activities to keep the kids entertained.

Fire up the fun

Start your day by visiting Enginuity in Coalbrookdale and get hands-on with the interactive exhibits: generate power using water, discover how a blast furnace works and have a go at building your own Iron Bridge.

Inspired by Coalbrookdale's proud engineering history, why not book into a Magical Mechanical Toys workshop. Discover more about how traditional toys are made and create your own fun keepsake.

Grab a bite to eat

After a busy morning, break for lunch just next door at The Furnace Kitchen, in Coalbrookdale, a relaxed, family-friendly restaurant with freshly prepared meals and children’s options.

Check our the menu to see what’s cooking.

Let the games commence

In the afternoon head back over to Enginuity to explore Ready, Set...Game! and pick up and play over 30 consoles spanning six decades, from an Atari 2600 from 1977 to the latest Virtual Reality technology.

Discover how computer games have evolved over the years and challenge friends and family on old classics and today's favourites.

Admission is included in museum entry.

Sparking big ideas

If you have time left over, when in Coalbrookdale, head to the Old Furnace to discover where one innovation changed the world forever.

Conclude your visit by discovering more about what powered the Industrial Revolution by following the family trail around the Museum of Iron – perfect for sparking big ideas and brilliant questions.

Challenge your family!
