Our popular Pre-School Day at Life Science Centre returns this Friday (15 May), with plenty for younger visitors aged 4 and under to explore 👶

Little ones can meet moving dinosaurs as part of The Great Dinosaur Escape, included in your ticket. Some of the dinosaurs are big and noisy and some children might be scared. You know your child best so please use your (dino) discretion 🦖

Speaking of dinosaurs… we’ve even brought along some of their closest living relatives: hens (yes, really!). Our friends at Wilde Farm will be here, and children can explore the life cycle of a hen - from the cute fluffy chicks, to the mother hens and their eggs 🐔🥚
