*Programming subject to change. IMAX and Planetarium experiences can be purchased as add-ons to day tickets either online or in person.
In March 2025, there are several days with a high volume of school groups visiting including Wednesday 12th, Friday 14th, Wednesday 19th, and Wednesday 26th. As a result, the centre can often feel busier and noisier than expected. For the best science mall experience, we recommend visiting after 1pm or, alternatively, at weekends.
Our Autism Sunday hours are still running from 10am - 1pm. Due to our programme of activities, our visitor numbers are expected to be higher than usual. Staff are on hand to support you during your visit and if you would find it helpful, we also have ear defenders available and the quiet room is available throughout the day.
Open every day from 10:00-17:00
