Across five captivating stages, you’ll explore everything from the biggest and most profound questions we face, to the amazing engineering that will transform our future. World-famous experts will reveal the truth about our mental health, the mind-bending science of black holes, how DNA is reopening cold cases, and so much more besides.
Enjoy 80+ exciting exhibits and scores of new interactive show-floor experiences. You can sit in the cockpit of a Red Arrow plane, experience the illusion of growing an extra finger or feeling your hands melt, take an immersive journey into the heart of our blue planet, and much more.
