Gift Aid
As we’re a charity, Science Centre day tickets include a voluntary 10% donation which allows us to claim an extra 25p in every pound from the Government, providing the donor is a UK tax payer. It’s called a Gift Aid visit and it makes a huge difference to charities like us. To enable us to reclaim your Gift Aid, you must be paying an amount of income or capital gains tax at least equal to or greater than the amount of this donation.
To opt out of the Gift Aid ticket price, please purchase your Science Centre ticket on arrival.
