There’s lots of fun to be had at Newcastle’s Life Science Centre this half-term. From amazing shows in the region’s biggest planetarium, to thrilling, interactive exhibits in Wow Zone, families can experience a day out that you won’t find anywhere else. Plus, enjoy hands-on experiments and making activities, and a gross and glorious live show about what makes you, YOU!
At Life, one ticket gets you everything – so it's great value, too.
Highlights include:
• NEW live show: Gross and Glorious Me – Explore the weird and wonderful workings of the human body. How does your body battle against germs? What makes you break wind? And what does the colour of your wee say about you? It’s (s)not for the squeamish!
• Meet real scientists from Durham University – Take part in real scientific research about how you perceive your body in a virtual world. You'll also have the chance to ask any questions about what they do, how they do it and why it’s important!
• Make your own badge in the Making Studios - Create a design that shows what YOU are all about, then take it home to show your friends!
• Be a forensic detective in Experiment Zone – Solve a mystery by using a magnetic powder to examine fingerprints. (Ages 7+)
• Experience Wow Zone interactives – Bend beams of light, see yourself in an infrared camera, and operate our 6-metre-tall ‘Big Machine’... plus much more!
• Immerse yourself in the region’s biggest planetarium – Take a tour of the night skies as they will look that night in Constellation Close-Up. Or go stargazing with Little Bear – an enchanting show especially for under-7s. Life uses Digistar 7, the world’s most advanced planetarium system, to guarantee stunning imagery and sound for a truly immersive experience.
• Space Zone – be the boss in Mission Control and check out how astronauts poo in space. Space-walk through our replica of part of the International Space Station and present your own weather forecast!
• Under-7s fun including Play Zone, discovery backpacks, a special planetarium show and pop-up play areas.
