Admission Prices

Your admission ticket includes time to explore the exhibition floor with over 65 hands-on exhibits, and attend all public shows and workshops. There are no additional costs for exhibitions and activities once inside the centre. 

As an independent charity, we rely on ticket sales, donations, and fundraising to open our doors and continue our educational programmes.  We have two admission prices; one is admission only and the other is admission plus a small donation.  As a charity visitor attraction, if a donation of at least 10% of the admission price is included, we can treat the whole ticket price as a donation that is eligible for gift-aid, therefore generating additional income for our charity through gift aid.   

Group discount rates are available for organised groups. There is a minimum number of 10 people and these must be booked in advance. Send us an email to enquire about group visits.

STEM Passport – Your Passport to Unlimited Visits!

A STEM Passport  gives you unlimited visits to the centre for 12 months.  Our STEM Passports are available for adults, children or concessions – explore our Passport options.
