About

Cambridge Science Centre is the city’s first interactive science museum, dedicated to sparking curiosity and building a lifelong love of STEM through hands-on exploration. Founded in 2013 and now located at the Trinity Centre in Cambridge Science Park, it offers an ever-changing programme of exhibits, experiments, and activities designed for children, families, and schools. Visitors can engage with interactive displays covering physics, engineering, biology, and sustainability, guided by enthusiastic science communicators who make complex ideas accessible and fun. Beyond its walls, the Centre takes “Street Science” pop-up events into communities, ensuring access to science for all. Its new venue has become a vibrant hub for learning, with themed programmes such as “Building a Better World” exploring how innovation can shape a sustainable future. Welcoming over half a million people since its inception, Cambridge Science Centre continues to inspire the next generation of thinkers, makers, and problem-solvers in an inclusive, energetic environment.
