Best Kids' Activities in Liverpool: Robotics, Coding & More

Robotics Classes

Kids build and program real robots using LEGO Education kits. It's hands-on, it's creative, and it teaches problem-solving in a way that sitting in front of a textbook never will.

ICEskool runs RoboZone classes for ages 4–15 across Liverpool — in Formby, Waterloo, and Bridge Chapel. Groups are small (never more than 10–12 children), and every session has two instructors. That matters, because a 5-year-old building their first robot needs different support than a 13-year-old programming autonomous machines.

Pricing starts from £5 for a taster session, with 6-week courses at £72.

Coding Classes

Coding is the literacy of the 21st century. That's not a slogan — it's just true. Every industry, from medicine to music, now runs on code.

ICEskool's CodeLand programme teaches kids aged 7–15 to code through Scratch, Python, and game development. They don't just follow instructions — they build their own projects from scratch.

6-week courses start at £60. Drop-in sessions are £12.

AI & Machine Learning

This is the one most people don't expect. ICEskool's AISpace programme introduces children aged 10+ to artificial intelligence — how it works, how to use it responsibly, and how to build with it.

Your child will learn about machine learning, neural networks, and tools like ChatGPT — not just as users, but as creators. This isn't a gimmick. AI is already reshaping every career path your child might choose.

Holiday Camps

During school holidays, ICEskool runs full-day STEM camps for ages 8+. Kids spend the day building robots, coding games, and exploring AI — with extended care available until 6pm for working parents.

£35 per day.

Birthday Parties

If your child would rather build a robot than bounce on a trampoline, ICEskool runs robotics and coding birthday parties for up to 16 children. Standard packages start at £20 per child, with an Ultimate package at £25 per child that includes extra tech and longer sessions.

Adult Classes

Not just for kids. ICEskool also runs Computing, AI & Robotics classes for adults — whether you want to understand what your children are learning, upskill for work, or just try something completely new.

What to Look For in Any Kids' Activity

Whatever you choose, here's what actually matters:

• Small groups — your child should get real attention, not be lost in a crowd
• Qualified instructors — DBS-checked, trained, and genuinely passionate
• Progressive learning — not just the same thing every week
• Real skills — something your child can build on year after year
