Cambridge Science Centre occupies the ground floor of the Trinity Centre in Cambridge Science Park. It holds over 20 hands-on, open-ended exhibits exploring science, technology, engineering and maths. Children can tackle challenges at Lab-benches and Work-benches, watch explosive science shows, and work with Science Communicators present at every session. The centre also runs a separate Fenland location in Wisbech's Horsefair Shopping Centre with similar hands-on exhibits. Sessions last two hours and are designed for children aged 5–11, though younger and older siblings are welcome. All visits require pre-booking.
