Are you ready for a summer adventure?
Over the past 20 years the way we use electricity has radically changed as our use of personal technology has evolved. But what is it and how is it generated? Let’s find out together in Sparks, a brand new live science show. Watch as we bring electricty to life through fun experiments. And will you be able to generate your own electricity through pedal power – let’s find out!
Blast off on an adventure into space in two amazing Planetarium shows. Explore the hundreds of moons, planets and stars in Solar System Adventure, an exciting live show. And find out what it takes to be a part of the amazing journey that is space exploration in Astronaut, a subtitled film show.
In 2022 we’re celebrating 20 years of the Science Centre's most wow moments. Join us for an epic year of our best show themes and demos from the past 20 years - all with a retro 2002 twist.
The Science Centre is open every weekend and all throughout the summer school holidays.
