We travelled from Yorkshire to Newcastle specifically to visit the Life Science Centre, having been 3 years since our last visit. Must admit, I looked on Trip Advisor the day before and was a little concerned by the negative reviews, but our experience was the total opposite. We visited with our 5yr old, 18 month old and their grandparents and... More

Had a great day with niece and nephews (twin 7 year olds, a 6 year old and a 1 year old). Something for each of them! I also learned things I never knew whilst 'playing'. Great value too with the full day for 2 adults and 4 children coming in a £13. More

I was very disappointed when I visited, staff looked bored, the place looked tired and some of the interactive activities were not working, I had visited with my friend's 8 year old son who said at the end 'it was OK but a little bit boring' which is sad, becuase the last time I visited (when it first opened) I...
