A day out at Aberdeen Science Centre is an easy parenting win - there are no red ropes, no ‘don’t touch’ signs and nothing behind glass.
Aberdeen Science Centre uses interactive, hands-on exhibits and live science shows to help visitors discover more about the world and the physics of life all around them. Be sure to bring your brains along with you, as we can almost guarantee visitors of all ages will head home having learnt something new!
Aberdeen Science Centre is one of Aberdeen’s top visitor attractions and offers the perfect day out for the whole family.
With more than 65 interactive exhibits, the centre is packed with interactive zones, exhibits and activities designed to get visitors testing, building, questioning and discovering.
Explore six zones across two floors, from space and energy to life sciences, creative making, digital challenges and hands-on play for younger visitors.
