A flavour of what's included in your ticket…

For 25 years, Life has been a place where people can go to discover the wonders of science – whether it’s a young child getting a glimpse of the Earth from space, or a researcher working on life-changing treatment.

As we celebrate our milestone birthday, we’re taking a moment to reflect – and to look ahead.

Celebrating 25 years of Life!
