Normal exhibitions were good, especially the lab. The demonstrations were impossible to get into as the schools which were there got priority, which meant only about 10 of the public would get in. This was very poorly organised and the schools should have had separate shows. So it could be good but poorly run.

I love museums and science so on a trip to Newcastle me and my partner visited here. It ended up being a very quiet day, barely saw anyone else which was nice to avoid crowds but also meant a lot of the ticketed events or things like the planetarium appeared to not be running at all as no one seemed to be around at the entrance and all in all seemed like a rest day for the centre. No worries as me and my partner still had a good time, though a lot of the activities are more catered to much younger audiences then us. There are some entertaining things to do like the pulley chairs and the weather station and I loved the section on bees though it could be more interactive. Similarly don't think the being a scientist activity was running as we looked around but it appeared closed. All good and I bet on busier days it's a lot more lively and engaging, probably would be great for families!

Excellent family day out! Visited today with older primary aged children. We’ve never visited before, but we love Glasgow Science Centre, which seems similar. We arrived at 10am, and left just before closing! My kids love to do EVERYTHING, they read everything and do every single activity, which is why we were there so long. It was fun for accompanying adults too though! The planetarium was brilliant, the science show was interesting, and all the staff we encountered were friendly and helpful. We spent a whole hour in the craft section, which was great. The science lab was also really unique. The only thing letting it down was the limited range of food (though there was an excellent vegan range), but I know this is because their second cafe is closed for refurbishment. The coffee really wasn’t good, sadly 😞 I’m sure we’ll be back!

We thoroughly enjoyed the Planetarium and it's showing/listening of Pink Floyd's Dark Side of the Moon. The staff were extremely informative and this allowed for an excellent lead up to the main event. My mouth barely shut, incredible light experiences to fit the album, stunning.

Went to one of the adult late night events celebrating 50th anniversary of PInk Floyd's Dark Side of the Moon, which was played along side stunning visuals in the planetarium. Bonus of the evening was wine available and the host started the event with an introductory talk about the moon. Staff amazingly knowledge, friendly and professional. Wonderful space for learning and being amazed.

No lifts working . We had our disabled son with us in his Weelchair. Was a ramp to use but that’ not easy to push him he is heavy so is his chair . I seen pictures of dinosaurs when we got there there wasn’t none . Says there’s a changing places on internet but there isn’t just a baby changer and a disabled toilet . No good to change a 11 year old on a toilet floor and he is to big for a bay changer
