Life Science Centre

Life Science Centre is more than just a visit; it's an ongoing adventure. The activities are so engaging and diverse that my kids find something new to love every single time. Top Tip: Get the Annual Pass! It’s the best investment for families. It gives you the freedom to visit as often as you like, ensuring you never miss their amazing seasonal themes and rotating exhibitions. A must-visit for every curious mind! I was happy today to see new stuff and showw

Fantastic place to spend an hour or two. Lots of interactive things to do for inquisitive minds. There are lockers for your stuff if you ask at reception. The space area is fascinating, particularly the space toilet!

Fantastic museum for children - so many interactive hands on things to keep them engaged. The planetarium is great, we saw the 'What Santa Sees' show.

Such a fun and inspiring place to spend the day! The Life Science Centre is perfect for both kids and adults – interactive exhibitions, hands-on experiments, planetarium shows, and even live science demonstrations. Everything is engaging and easy to understand, making science come alive in the most exciting way. Staff are friendly and passionate, which adds to the experience. Highly recommend for families, curious minds, or anyone looking for a unique day out in Newcastle!

An absolutely amazing planetarium experience in Newcastle! The show was breathtakingly beautiful and visually stunning. I learned so many fascinating facts about our Solar System, our galaxy, and the wider universe. It was both educational and incredibly entertaining. This definitely won’t be my last visit. I highly recommend it to everyone, whether you’re going for the learning experience or simply to enjoy an unforgettable visual spectacle.

It is crowded in weekdays if you ask why there is a enormous amount of children maybe from 5 schools because they were in half term and they had field trips recommended to go In the weekend About the place it was amazing as A tourist like me cool science more to needed to add technology exhibits That is it

Great place to take kids, my 2yo daughter loved the interactive contraptions. For older kids there's even more to do. The planetarium show was great! Highly recommend.

So much to do! We went with children aged 4, 7 and 11 and there was something for all of them. There's so much to get hands on with including experiments with forces, gravity, balance, light, sound, illusions, memory, spacial awareness and many more. The lab area for 7+ allows them to do structured experiments following step by step instructions on a touch screen. The space area has a fab interactive area for younger children and there's a soft play space for under 7s on the top floor. You can try your hand at controlling NASA style computers, listen to the experiences of real astronauts and find answers to questions such as how you go to the toilet in space. We didn't make it to any of the shows and still could have spent more time there! Highly recommend if you have children with inquisitive minds and busy hands.

Life Science Centre is a great family day out, situated right next to the train station. Its great value for money and theres lots of things to do. The centre usually has themes every now and then recently there was a dinosaur and doctor who theme. The themes seem to change every few months which is great as by the time you go again its a new experience. There is also a 4D simulator there which is great fun.
