Award‑winning Life Science Centre is going kids‑free for another epic late-night takeover during the spookiest month of the year.  Explore hands‑on exhibits after hours, catch a dazzling presenter led planetarium show, come face‑to‑jaw with prehistoric beasts, and discover loads more surprises. 

Did you know? Life recently scooped two gold awards from Destination North East England Tourism for Best Large Visitor Attraction and Accessibility and Inclusion.   

Come see what all the fuss is about – and experience Life after hours for a unique night out!

The dinosaurs you’ll see on the evening are from Dinosaurios Mexico. 

To give you plenty of time to enjoy the experience, some areas will be closed for the evening: Making Studios, Experiment Zone, Science Theatre, Upper level.
