COVID-19 safety info

When visiting Life Science Centre

At Life, we’ve always been passionate about delivering the most entertaining, safe and comfortable experience for every visitor- every time!

 

For your safety, comfort, and enjoyment, the following measures remain: 

  • Visitors and our team must wear face coverings unless there is a valid reason not to - such as a medical exemption or other permitted reason. Children under the age of 11 are also exempt.  
  • Online booking with timed slots remain – for members too. This helps us to monitor capacity – so there will be fewer visitors and plenty of space for you and your family to explore.  
  • Some slots will be kept free for walk-ups - but booking is advised to avoid disappointment.  
  • Enhanced cleaning regimes remain in place and there are hand sanitisation stations throughout the building.
  • Scanning the NHS QR code poster displayed by the entrance is encouraged. Use the NHS COVID-19 app on your smartphone.  
Social distancing and cleaning has been implemented very well and there is a safe route through the building. We went during half term and while it was busy enough to create an atmosphere it still felt safe and under control.
