Life Science Centre, Science museum in Newcastle upon Tyne, England.
The Life Science Centre is a science museum in Newcastle upon Tyne with interactive exhibits, lab spaces, and a planetarium dome. Visitors can actively experiment here and explore the principles of biology, physics, and space exploration.
The International Centre for Life, which houses this museum, opened in 2000 as part of Newcastle's efforts to promote scientific education. The facility grew from a desire to establish the region as a centre for scientific innovation.
The centre draws people interested in science and gives them space to discover and learn together. Visitors can understand how science touches their everyday world.
The site is easy to walk through and all areas are well reached from the entrance halls. It helps to arrive early as planetarium sessions can fill up quickly.
The planetarium uses Digistar 7 technology and ranks among the largest in northern England. The dome displays detailed sky objects and allows journeys through space that you cannot experience elsewhere.
