Where science comes to life

Get hands on with science and nature on an interactive family adventure, perfect for children age three to 12 years old and their families. 

You’re never too young or old to learn something new and, with so much to discover across two floors of interactive exhibits, there’ll be something to astound, amaze and excite all ages.

Watch as science comes to life through explosive shows and huge ‘don’t try this at home’ demos. Meet the minibeasts of the South Downs National Park in Bio:Space. And blast off on an unforgettable journey through space in the Planetarium - one of the largest in the UK.
