Last Thursday, we held an after-hours event just for the grown-ups.

From getting hands-on with interactive exhibits and meeting our moving dinosaurs, to sitting back for an immersive Planetarium show, guests had the chance to enjoy the science centre without the kids.

It was a fantastic turnout, and great to see so many people exploring Life after hours. Here are a few photos from the night. 📸

Missed out? We have more evening Planetarium events coming up this month.

Take a look at what's on here 👇
