About this place

MathsCity is an interactive mathematics museum where children discover that maths is everywhere and genuinely fun. Located in a converted warehouse space in Leeds, it features hands-on exhibits and engaging equipment that bring mathematical concepts to life. Rather than passive learning, visitors explore through doing, making it perfect for curious minds aged 7 and upwards. Parents often find themselves just as engaged as their children, making it a genuine family experience where learning happens through play.

What to bring

  • Notebook and pencil to record observations and workings
  • Water bottle and snacks to keep energy levels up during exploration
  • Comfortable shoes as you'll be moving between different exhibits
  • Camera or phone to capture interesting moments and help children remember what they discovered

Top tips

  • Allow at least 90 minutes so children can fully explore and experiment rather than rushing through exhibits
  • Encourage children to slow down at each station and really engage with the equipment instead of moving quickly from one to the next
  • Arrive early in the day when the space is quieter and children can have more hands-on time with popular exhibits
  • Chat with the friendly staff who can offer guidance and deeper explanations of the mathematical principles behind each activity
