Follow your imagination...

You’ll never have seen anything like Life’s new Curiosity Zone–it’s 100% hands-on and full of exhibits designed to bring out your inner scientist. No more watching and reading, or swallowing loads of facts, just lots of opportunities for you to ask the kind of questions scientists do - ‘what happens if…?’ ‘If I put these things together what will it do?’ ‘what can I see here…?”. It’s all about exploring with your friends and family, discovering new things and sharing your experiences.

You can explore magnetism through sculpture, build the ultimate chain reaction, compose your own music, test your powers of observation, create massive machines, - plus there will be hidden surprises and secret treasures for you to discover and share- and that’s just for starters.


Curiosity is what you make of it – even if you make a bee-line for the same exhibit each time you visit, you can do something different every time.
