Aberdeen Science Centre has more than 65 interactive exhibits spread across different zones: Energy Space, Life Sciences, Make It, Test It, and an Under 6 Zone. You can meet Robothespian, a talking humanoid robot, and experience the OPITO Theatre of Energy, described as the UK's first immersive theatre experience. A VR time machine experience is included in admission. The centre runs workshops and special events; the What's On page lists current offerings. The building is fully wheelchair accessible with accessible toilets, and a sensory space with dark dens and ear defenders is available.
