Yellow Question Mark On A Background Of Black Signs, FAQ Concept

Enjoy exciting, immersive live science shows in our theatre. 

The world can be a tricky place. Sometimes we believe things that aren’t real – but that doesn’t make us stupid, it’s just how our brains work. 

In our new show, Find the Fake, explore how your senses and brain can be fooled, and discover ways to spot fakes in the real world. 

Expect illusions, mind challenges, and plenty of surprises along the way. Can you tell what’s real? 

Shows run at various times throughout the day, with show times available on arrival. During busy periods, we ask visitors to see the Planetarium or Science Theatre once at a time, so everyone can enjoy the experience.

Accessibility information

The Science Theatre is a dimly lit area where live shows take place. A limited number of people will be able to go into the theatre at one time, and you will be able to sit within your group. Shows take place several times throughout the day and times are given to visitors on arrival.
 

Levels of music change throughout the show and might be loud in parts. Sometimes, people in the audience might clap or cheer. Ear defenders are available from reception for a refundable deposit. Lights and colours will change throughout the show.
