Metro Family Fun Days

Full description

Our Metro Memories exhibition goes much bigger for our ‘Family Fun Days!’

Nexus is bringing all kinds of extra activities and fascinating showcases suitable for all ages:

• Experience the Tyne & Wear Metro’s new fleet in glorious Virtual Reality (this is what the Metro drivers themselves are using for training!)
• Build and run a LEGO train, brick by studded brick.
• Get kitted out in high vis and safety equipment, as you get ready to work on the Metro!
• Help us plan and build our own cardboard city, with its own Metro line and stations.
• See the 12ft Knitted Metro Model, made by knitters during lockdown.

Plus even more games and activities at The Common Room!

Tickets for the Metro Family Fun Days include admission to the Metro Memories Exhibition. Find out more about the exhibition itself here.
