All Aboard!

CLIENT: PRESTON PARK MUSEUM

SCOPE: DESIGN, BUILD AND INSTALLATION OF INTERACTIVE EXHIBITION

Concept designed by KCA London, this new interactive exhibition has been specifically created for children. Little designers, engineers and drivers will be able to get hands-on with wheels to turn, coal to shovel and pistons to pump in the giant replica train and themed play zones.  

 Families will be able to take part in a journey of discovery through play to understand the important story of the Stockton and Darlington Railway. 

Following a multi million pound extension and investment into wider park improvements, Preston Park appointed Unusual Projects to deliver an engaging, hands on interpretation of the stories of the railways. 

 We worked closely with the client to value engineer the project to ensure we did not exceed the available budget and delivered a high quality, multi-sensory and engaging hands-on exhibition. We also delivered bespoke soft play. Our key exhibit is a central train which allows visitors to stoke the boiler, ring the bell, and produce steam. The train has many carriages, one of which features a movement activated brass band on their way to a show.
