Essential info
Please read!
Please note that some areas will be closed from 5 September – 25 October (inclusive) as we get ready for the launch of the new Space Zone (opens 26 October). Prices have been reduced to reflect this.
The 4D Motion Ride has been a firm favourite for visitors of all ages since Life Science Centre opened nearly 20 years ago. However, as the science centre continues to grow and evolve, it is time to retire this popular attraction to make space for something new – so make sure you visit by 25 October 2019 if you want to enjoy one final thrilling ride! Life would like to hear from visitors what they’d like to see replace the 4D Motion Ride, so please send your ideas to info@life.org.uk. Also, don’t forget to check out the science centre’s newest exhibition Space Zone from 26 October 2019 to explore the wonders of the Universe and discover how space exploration impacts our everyday lives.

Event details
Add ingredients, mix and watch closely. What will your potion do?
Children who don’t go to witch or wizard school can still get in on the fun of potion making this half-term.
Apprentices will learn how to mix their own concoctions and watch things rise from the depths of a cauldron before they try to make their own potions. Chanting spells is optional!
(Fancy dress is not provided.)
The Potions Workshop is included in the general Science Centre ticket price. Each workshop has a capacity of 32, including both adults and children. There will be multiple workshops on throughout the day - just sign up for one at our reception when you arrive at the science centre.
Please note:
This workshop has an age restriction of 5+. Smaller children will be able to go into the room whilst the workshop is taking place to avoid splitting families up, but they will not be allowed to participate in the workshop.
