Life is an exciting place where science comes alive in a fun and funky environment! We want to inspire curiosity and encourage you to uncover new things about Life.

Whatever your age, if you're curious about the world around you, there's something for you and your family at Life.

From sniffing the smog in Mexico City to coming nose to nose with your ninety year old face, our Human Life exhibition will have you entranced. Take part in a live science show with our awesome explainers, enter The Dome for a visual journey unlike anything else in the region, and enjoy the thrills and spills of our crazy motion ride.
