Science communicator Alissa Van Soest said the centre had capped visitors to 40 people at a time and will host two sessions a day from 10am to noon and 1pm to 4pm.
"The rules are we can have 20 people per space," she said. "Discovery has a lot of spaces and we thought it best to take a safe route and limit it down.
"In reality we could have up 80 people, but capped it at 40 for two sessions a day, which gives everyone a chance to see everything. People can book online for our sessions."

"After a massive deeps clean, I have never seen place so clean. Even the giant ant and slide have had a huge polish."
