About Aberdeen Science Centre

The 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!

For the Younger Visitors:

Monthly Little Explorer Days offer fun, hands-on science activities that encourage learning through play. Each Little Explorer Day workshop lasts 30 minutes and is supported by related activity tables on the Exhibition Floor to go and get stuck into afterwards!

Hands-on Science for all the family

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, our friendly robot RoboThespian and The incredible OPITO Theatre of Energy, every visit to Aberdeen Science Centre is unique.

There are daily shows and workshop for you to take part in and monthly Little Explorer Days for pre-school children.

We also host birthday parties, evening events and room hire.

Science Birthday Parties

Our hassle-free birthday parties are an unforgettable experience. All you need to do is pick which one of our 5 themes you want for the party and we'll do the rest!

Birthday parties include:

Time exploring the science exhibits

A workshop of your choice

Food for everyone

No two visits are the same

Our science theme changes every 2-3 months, one visit you could be exploring all things about space, another will be looking at sustainable fashion or engineering challenges.

Our shows and workshops are delivered daily at no extra cost, and are a great addition to your visit to enjoy some hands-on science fun.
