Group of science centre visitors watching a live science show headed up by an Explainer at Life Science Centre.

Enjoy exciting, immersive live science shows in our theatre. 

Dinosaurs roamed the Earth for millions of years, but all that’s left of them is fossils. So how do we know how they looked, sounded or behaved?

This immersive live show, full of curious noises, amazing creatures and fun facts, explores how we have been able to discover more about dinosaurs, and gives a glimpse into life in prehistoric times.
