Dundee Science Centre

A learning resource -- aimed at everyone from kids to adults -- that runs alongside the schools' curriculum to make learning about science inspiring, interactive and fun. There are 80 hands-on exhibition and live science shows, plus the venue is a major player in the Dundee Science Festival. Dundee Science Centre is easily reached by local buses, as most stop at Greenmarket. There is both long- and short-term parking facilities near the site. There are designated disabled parking spaces in the car parks at the front and rear of the building, which has a level entrance. Carers are admitted free of charge. Wheelchairs are available for loan at no charge, and assistance dogs are welcome throughout the centre.

What's On @ Dundee Science Centre

Fact or Fiction: Marvellous Motion

8 Apr 2026 - 28 Jun 2026

A brand new interactive show is coming to Dundee Science Centre, bringing collisions, gravity, and friction to life. Audiences will be amazed as the tablecloth is pulled from under cups and plates without moving them, showing the power of inertia. They can hop onto a mini hovercraft powered by a leaf blower, gliding effortlessly over a thin film of air and discovering how friction can be reduced. Meanwhile, they can watch as a cup of water spins overhead, defying expectations thanks to centripetal force, just like a rollercoaster keeps riders safely in their seats. Other demonstrations explore gravity, air resistance, angular momentum, and torque, giving kids and families a front-row seat to the mechanics of the world around them. Whether you’re a curious mind, a family looking for an exciting day out, or someone who loves discovering how the world works, this is your chance to get involved, ask questions, and see physics in action like never before!
