Went to Math city with my brother and a one other person…..as soon as we walked in we were greeted by very kind staff which then let us in on our booking…..we were a little bit late but they still said “no worries head on in” which I thought was very good the staff there was very kind….there was this interactive robot type thing that let us build a city and manage it…..there was also this earthquake circle that you build a house on and then press a button which lets you see if what you’ve built is durable or not…..there was another room where you stand in a ring and and pull a lever and you can make yourself in a bubble. The trick is pull the lever really fast and then you get a bubble around you. As soon as you stop the bubble closes in on you. There was this Tetris game that we didn’t get to do because we were all hungry so went for food in Trinity….overall the experience 5 stars…..the staff friendliness 5 stars….it was surprising not that busy considering we went on a Sunday. Overall 5 stars would recommend if you like a lot of math hands on

Visited on a Saturday afternoon with my 11yo daughter and 75yo mum. We were all equally entertained for a good couple of hours. Loads of hands-on activities and interesting learning experiences. Love the new location by the docks. Highly recommend.

A lovely place with many cool displays. The staff were really helpful and friendly. The displays were mind blowing . Our kids were 8 and 9 years old, and the maths were challenging. They enjoyed playing with the displays and they were inspiring. Our minds were blown within 90 minutes, however the icing on the cake came via a treasure hunt throughout Leeds centre, where they had to use their math skills to calculate the mystery codes. A good day out, however for explanation of the maths behind the displays you need to go to their website.

This place is fabulous. Although, I'd say it's more science city than math's city. Great interactive place and safe for kids to do as they please. Lockers so you don't have to carry anything around with you. Highly recommend. We had children 4-9 with us and it was suitable for each age group
