Enter the Time Machine – also known as the science theatre!
Journey into the past as we explore local inventions that changed the world. You might even be inspired to be the next amazing North East inventor!
Shows are on at various times throughout the day, show times are available on arrival.
During busy times, we request that you visit the Planetarium and Science Theatre once. This is to allow other visitors to enjoy the experience too. Thanks for your consideration.
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.

‘Absolutely fantastic! The member of staff had us all anticipating the whole thing was excellent.’
It might be more cost effective to become a Life annual member. You can upgrade your ticket on the day of your visit – we’ll deduct your admission price from the cost of your membership.
