Opening times
The exhibition zone is usually open Monday to Sunday 10:00 AM - 4:00 PM. Check the booking page for updates.
Dundee Science Centre is for curious children who like pressing, testing, exploring and trying things for themselves. It works best as a proper booked indoor activity rather than a quick wander, with timed sessions, hands-on exhibits and strong access and sensory planning information.
Best for Curious children and families who want a booked indoor activity with hands-on science, especially when wet weather or access planning matters

Choose this when you want the indoor part of the day to feel planned and substantial, with a clear session length and enough hands-on exhibits to carry a wet-weather morning or afternoon. The booking structure is helpful if you like knowing what the visit will involve before you arrive, but it is less useful for a quick, flexible wander between other Dundee stops.
What children do
Children can explore interactive exhibits and hands-on activities designed to make science feel practical and playful. This is strongest for curious kids who like trying things for themselves rather than only looking at displays.
Timed sessions
Book a session and arrive on time. Your ticket gives you around 2 hours 30 minutes on the exhibition floor, and arriving late can reduce your time inside.
Access and sensory planning
This is a strong Dundee option to plan if access or sensory needs matter, with level access, lifts, Changing Places and quieter Sunday sensory-friendly hours listed.
