Exclusive half-day hire of Aberdeen Science Centre now available
Aberdeen Science Centre has launched a new corporate event hire package, offering a dynamic venue for organisations looking to host employee and family fun days unlike any other.
This new Family Fun Day Package, which provides exclusive half-day hire of both the centre’s indoor and outdoor areas, combines this unique event space with captivating science activities and demonstrations, designed to create an unforgettable day out.
Available to book from Monday, January 27, the new deal grants access to the five-star rated STEM visitor attraction’s interactive science exhibits, alongside use of its garden and BBQ facilities for 80-300 delegates.
Throughout each family fun day hosted at the centre, Aberdeen Science Centre’s team of STEM communicators will be on the floor delivering engaging and hands-on science demonstrations, including putting attendees inside bubbles and testing out hoverboards, that can fit seamlessly into an organisation’s event plans.
A BBQ menu and soft drinks are also included as part of the package, set up in the centre’s sensory garden space. Sourced from local suppliers, the BBQ will be prepared and cooked by Grub Fresh Food, while the deal can also be upgraded to include alcoholic beverages when the centre is not open to the public.
After enjoying a BBQ, guests can head back into the centre for a day of fun with its diverse and interactive exhibits and ‘Science on the Spot’ activities.
Costs for the Family Fun Day Package, which include flexible timeslots for morning, afternoon or evening events, will start from £3,450 +VAT for 80 attendees. Additional guests can be added to the package for a supplementary fee, priced at £30 +VAT per adult and £20 +VAT per child.
Half-day hire packages for Aberdeen Science Centre for fewer than 80 attendees are also available, however this will not include exclusive use of the venue.
Erin Flett, head of business development at Aberdeen Science Centre, encouraged organisations interested in hiring the centre for their next family fun day to get in touch.
She said: “We are excited to launch our new Family Fun Day Package at Aberdeen Science Centre. The centre makes for an engaging event space that is very different to other venues in the city, perfect for organisations planning family-focused staff events.
“With full, exclusive access to the centre and our garden space for 80 people as standard, the new package offers something very special – the chance to experience science in a fun way while enjoying a bespoke event tailored to your organisation’s needs. The half-day hire also includes a BBQ from Grub Fresh Food, making it an excellent option for those looking to combine great food, interactive experiences, and a memorable atmosphere.”
Visitors to Aberdeen Science Centre for the Family Fun Day Package will also have access to its newest exhibit, The Wall, which is the first of its kind in Scotland. The Wall’s users can take part in competitive games and immersive challenges as they learn more about space, nature, energy, maths, and many other topics.
Erin continued: “By choosing Aberdeen Science Centre as your event venue, you are supporting the local economy and helping us to achieve our mission to inspire a lifelong interest in science. As a STEM charity, every event we host allows us to continue delivering activities that spark a passion for science in young people who could become the scientists, engineers and innovators of the future.”
