We’ve had a lovely time! Staff were brilliant and the activities were fantastic ๐Ÿ™‚

Welcome to our new Centre

Our incredible new space is nestled in the heart of the Cambridge Science Park at the Trinity Centre. Conveniently located on the ground floor, Cambridge Science Centre is easily accessible by car, train, bus, and a safe, well-travelled walking route.

Families are welcome to visit us on weekends and during school holidays, where they’ll explore over 20 new, hands-on, and open-ended exhibits. Plus, discover our exciting new shows, and experiment in our STEMLab and Workshop spaces where young minds can challenge themselves with fresh concepts.

Our friendly and experienced Science Communicators are present at every session to welcome you and support your children’s exploration as they tackle each new challenge.

Our great value annual membership

All visits to the Centre require you to pre-book a session. Visit our Membership and Tickets page to secure your annual membership and then reserve your first visit session tickets. Each session lasts for two hours.

Already a member? Once you are a member, you can book sessions as you wish for the next 12 months.

Donโ€™t forget, Annual Members still need to pre-book session tickets to help us manage gallery capacity and ensure everyone has an enjoyable visit.

While our experiences are designed for children aged 5โ€“11, younger and older siblings are very welcome and will find plenty to explore too!

Sonic Science

How do we hear sound? How does it reach our ears? Why do we have two ears? We don’t really ask questions about something that we take for granted, but that just makes it more fascinating when we answer them for you! Find out more about sound, how it travels, how we hear it and why in space, nobody can hear you scream!
