Details
Newcastle's Life Science Centre is going kid‑free for another epic late-night takeover during the spookiest month of the year. Explore hands‑on exhibits after hours, catch a dazzling presenter led planetarium show, come face‑to‑jaw with prehistoric beasts, and discover loads more surprises.
Step inside and explore:
🦖 The Big Dino Den
Be spooked as you come face to jaw with the North’s biggest collection of moving dinosaurs. Making its UK debut at Life, this roar‑some line‑up features a three‑tonne T.rex , a baby Stegosaurus, and plenty more prehistoric legends.
🔭 The Sky: Tonight: Andromeda
This presenter-led Planetarium show explores the constellations visible in the autumn night sky and reveals how to find the Andromeda Galaxy. The show takes viewers on a journey through the lifecycle of stars, exploring how we are all connected to the wider universe.
⚡ Hands‑on, fun exhibits
Get hands-on in the WOW Zone and take control of the six-metre-tall Big Machine. Elsewhere, explore interactive exhibits that reveal what sound looks like and let you bend beams of light.
A rare chance to experience Life after hours, without the kids, and with a completely different atmosphere.
Please note: Some areas will be closed for the evening including Making Studios, Experiment Zone, Science Theatre and the Upper Level.
