Climb aboard a playground swing, don a VR headset, and take flight in one of four virtual flying machines!

A young girl wearing a VR headset labelled VOLO dreams of flight sits on a swing, holding the chains and leaning back, appearing to enjoy a virtual reality experience outdoors.

Soar over cliffs as an Ornithopter bird-person; ascend to join a psychedelic aerial ballet in your Helical Screw; shoot into satellite orbit from a renaissance cannon; or bank and weave in a Glider across extraterrestrial landscapes.

Volo celebrates the work of Leonardo da Vinci: his fabulous flying contraptions, his studies of flight, and his pioneering work on optical instruments.

Please note: this experience is very popular, so please expect a queue.

Access

A platform swing which is accessible to people who use a wheelchair will be available between 11am-12pm and 4-5pm each day.
