June at the science centre
A visit to the science centre this June is packed with wonder and wow!
We're open every day from 10:00 - 17:00
Weekdays in June are often abuzz with education groups visiting for learning activities and to enjoy school trips. Where possible, we recommend members of the general public visit after 1 pm (as schools start to leave), or come along at weekends for the best experience if you prefer the gallery floors to be quieter.
Our outdoor spaces are alive with wildflowers and wildlife - take some time out to reconnect with nature this month and explore the sights and sounds of our local environment.
Science Mall
Explore your curiosity
Dive into fun with 3 huge floors filled with hundreds of interactive exhibits featuring touch screens to poke, buttons to press, and gears to crank. There's something for everyone to enjoy!
Come along and crack the code in the RSPB's 'Operation Broken Feather’ exhibition. Learn about the elusive, yet loud, corncrake, and efforts to support the biodiverse ecosystems they need to thrive.
Science Show Theatre
Be on the edge of your seat
It's The Pure Random Science Show*! Don’t miss this show with a twist – the live experiments you’ll see are chosen at random by our giant spinning wheel; even our science communicators have no clue which ones are up next!
And from 28 June, there's an exhilarating new show to breathe in as the summer starts, Our Amazing Air*.
