Regular highlights include age-appropriate hands-on play in the Making Studios, a balancing path for adventurous walkers and immersive plus child-friendly shows in the planetarium and on our huge digital globe – the Sphere.
Each session is different, so there’ll be new things to try each time you visit – from storytellers and crafters to artists and musicians.
This month’s theme is ‘Air’, and there’s something a little prehistoric in the air at Life this month, with the arrival of The Great Dinosaur Escape.
