What visitors say
I visited the science centre with my son and my friend and her two children. We all loved the experience. The staff were very helpful, friendly, and very customer focused. We watched a show called ‘who dunnit’ and it was great, the kids were mesmerised. Afterwards we visited the cafe and the kids had a kids meal and we had lunch and a coffee. The quality was good and decently priced. We visit the science centre at least once a year and always have a fab time.

This was an awesome interactive experience for the kids. There were lots of different zones. I felt somewhat is was too much of a playground as when I asked my son to tell me 3 facts he couldn't... He had great fun but didn't understand the science of what he was doing.

My son and I visited for the 2nd time today, he loves it, there is so much to see and interact with, we attended a "Movement" talk that was super interesting and the presented made sure everyone was included. My son is autistic and the staff were so patient and friendly to him. The staff were so lovely, helpful and welcoming, it has fast become a favourite place to visit 😊

Went to the Science Centre in Dundee as me and my girlfriend were looking for something to do and realised this was one of the places we haven’t been to yet. I’ve posted a couple of pictures from our visit but my recommendation is to check it out. You get allotted 2.5 hours time inside (which you think won’t be enough), however, there is plenty of stuff to interact with, read and learn. There is also a little show twice a day from what we gathered. There is 2 floors. Downstairs definitely more kid friendly. Upstairs is a bit more in depth and to do with medical. Very friendly and welcoming staff. Amazing visit.
