LIFE SCIENCE
CENTRE
Life is an award-winning
Science Centre in the heart
of Newcastle where one ticket
gets you everything. Hosting
a wide portfolio of attractions,
visitors are bound to find
something of interest to them.
Headlining events include the
likes of the Science Theatre,
a 4D Motion Ride, the North’s
biggest planetarium and the
Curiosity Zone, which is as
scintillating as it sounds. The
Life Science Centre offers
a combination of hands-on
and display exhibits which
have been designed to
bring out your inner scientist
whilst having some fun in
the process. There are also
several opportunities to speak
with industry experts, from
game designers to real life
scientists, allowing visitors to
get a better understanding of
the exhibition. Life also has a
special area for under-sevens
and a changing programme of
exhibitions and events. From
November to February, Life
hosts an outdoor ice rink in
Times Square, just outside
the Science Centre. Hands-
on workshops offered by the
Life Science Centre allow
groups of school children
to get real life experience of
skills such as game coding
and astronaut training.
