After listening to visitor feedback, we've decided to open our science centre on Saturday 10 July, when we hope further lockdown restrictions have eased, making it possible for visitors to enjoy much more of the full experience of a visit to Life. Subscribe to our mailing list for updates on when you can pre-book tickets.
Please see information below on what to expect during a visit. Please be aware that guidance on exhibitions may change as we prepare for reopening.
Carers of disabled visitors are admitted free of charge (one carer per disabled visitor, including when the disabled visitor is aged 4 or under) but tickets must still be pre-booked online; the normal admission fee applies to the disabled visitor. Please bring some proof of entitlement, such as a letter showing that you receive support, or a Companion card, a Children and Young People's Network Card, or similar.
As we reopen from lockdown, we regret to inform you that locker facilities are not available at this time.
Life Science Centre's Access Guide gives useful information about nearby accessible car parking, hearing loops, large print text and accessible facilities once you're inside the science centre.
Our Visual Story uses 'Atkinson Hyperlegible' typeface, designed by Applied Design Works and the Braille Institute to be accessible to the visually impaired community.
