Aberdeen Science Centre / Venue Hire / Corporate Bookings

Visit aberdeen science centre

Aberdeen Science Centre is open and we can’t wait to see you!

The centre is open Monday – Sunday, from 10am – 4.30pm and to avoid disappointment, we recommend pre-booking your tickets in advance (this includes STEM Passport holders).  You can purchase tickets for either the morning (10 am – 1pm) or afternoon (1pm – 4pm) and will have a three-hour slot available – this is plenty of time to explore the centre. If you’d like to purchase a STEM Passport, no pre-booking is required. You can fill the application and purchase the passport at our reception. 

We look forward to seeing you all soon!
