Whether you are a member of the public or a school group, a must-do part of visiting Science Space is watching a LIVE science show. Our amazing team of science Ambassadors delivers a suite of engaging and interactive live science shows covering a range of different scientific topics. We are regularly reviewing and updating our suite of shows, and often run special themed shows for school holiday periods.
Shows run regularly on weekends and during school holiday periods for the public, be sure to check the event calendar for the most up to date schedule of shows.
