The interactive approach at Our Dynamic Earth demystifies science for visitors of all ages
Our Dynamic Earth takes you on a journey through our planet’s path with interactive exhibits and impressive technology. Beginning with the Big Bang visitors can witness the creation of the earth, follow the planet through its evolution and even catch glimpses of its future. From dry tundra to the bottom of the ocean, a journey through Our Dynamic Earth is exciting, fun and engaging.
“Many of our visitors don’t realise they are having a scientific experience when they first come – it feels more like a social experience, it’s fun, there’s entertainment”
