End the school holidays on a high at Life this weekend. On Saturday 30 and Sunday 31 August, tickets are just £5 per person – or £3 if you’re in receipt of Universal Credit. A great way to squeeze in some last-minute summer fun before the kids go back to school!

Weekend highlights include: 

  • Step into our swirling tornado tower and watch the air come alive as you create your own twister in Lightbox.
  • Journey through space and time in our 360° dome show Life: The Greatest Story, narrated by Strictly Star Alex Kingston.
  • Barter in Play Zone’s outdoor marketplace and let your under-7’s lead the way.
  • Head to the Planetarium for a presenter-led show exploring the Summer Triangle.
  • Don’t miss your chance to harness the wind and craft a colourful windmill you can take home from the Making Studios.
  • It’s your last chance to enjoy our Top 10 live show – packed with our favourite science demos.
