Centre for Life

The Centre for Life is a science museum in Newcastle upon Tyne housed in multiple buildings dedicated to space exploration, genetics, and hands-on scientific experiments. The complex features interactive exhibitions where visitors can participate in activities and try out scientific ideas themselves.

The facility opened in 2000 and quickly became known for pioneering work in stem cell research and scientific education. It established itself as a major center for advancing research and sharing scientific knowledge in Britain.

The facility draws people curious about science and research in action, and hosts events where scientists and inventors share their work with the public. Visitors come here to see how researchers tackle real problems and inspire others to think scientifically.

Plan to spend several hours exploring the different areas and taking part in demonstrations for the best experience. Allow extra time if you want to watch the planetarium shows, which run regularly throughout the day.

The building itself is a former Millennium Dome that was converted specifically for the museum and research center. Few visitors realize that active scientists conduct research in the same complex while tourists explore exhibitions next door.
