Great day out and lots of fun for the kids! Plenty to see and do, especially if you catch the shows they run every day in the different zones. Space zone is awesome! There is also a large play area, an arts/drawing area, area with tables to eat a packed lunch(the centre allows this). My only gripe would be the cost of the tickets!
First time that I take my kids (6 and 9) at the Life Science Centre. We spent 5 hours there!!! There is so much to do and see it's worth the £31 entrance fee. We parked across Life and can book your parking at the same time you book your tickets and get a slight discount. On top of all the things you can do, there are also three shows, two at the planetarium, The Bear (for young kids) and Orion about the constellation, etc. The third show was at the Science Centre and it was about light and why we see colours. There is a cafe to get food and drinks but you can also bring your own food and have lunch there.
I really loved the visit to the Life Science Centre in Newcastle upon Tyne. There are a lot of activities to do, many things to explore and experience. It's a fun day trip with your family and kids.
What I loved the most is the Science explainers knowledge, professionalism and smiles which made the shows like Astronomy and Fire & Ice so much engaging and interesting.
There is a cafe right next to the gifts area which was very affordable and offered light snacks.
The overall experience was amazing.
