Centre for Alternative Technology

At the Centre for Alternative Technology, patrons believe that we must learn to live harmoniously with nature and live a full life that’s also kind to the planet.

A must-visit for budding scientists, the centre boasts an array of interactive renewable energy displays incorporating hydropower, biomass, wind and solar power. You’ll learn how these renewable energy sources can replace fossil fuels for a brighter, cleaner future.

While onsite you can also connect with nature by exploring the woodlands and grounds. Smaller ones will love the adventure playground with its tunnels, nets and ropes courses. A walk around the quarry trail is also a must with its stunning views and well-maintained footpath.

Don’t forget to pack a picnic so that you can make the most of the idyllic woodland spots along the way!

Fascinating discoveries await at the Centre for Alternative Technology…
