The dinosaurs won’t be around forever… and Halloween 2026 will be one of the last chances to see them before they leave Life at the end of the year.
Throughout October, families can enjoy prehistoric encounters, spooky science, creepy creations and plenty of hands-on fun as the dinosaurs take over the centre for one final fright-filled Halloween season.
For adults looking for a night out with a difference, our After-Hours event on Thursday 8 October offers exclusive access to explore Life after dark, with a grown-up twist on the Halloween experience.
