IT is an ambitious £2.1 million refurbishment that started during the pandemic – and now Dundee Science Centre will re-open to the public from this weekend.
Funded by the Inspiring Science Fund and other partners, the Connect project has transformed the ground floor of the attraction as it aims to become a major player in the staycation market.
It incorporates several new, interactive exhibits and an upgrading of all ground-floor facilities aimed at widening access. As part of its 21st birthday celebrations, it has also cut entry costs.
CEO Isabel Bruce said: “As Scotland prepares to open up after undoubtedly the most challenging period in our history, we are cutting our entry prices to make it more affordable for all, presenting a brilliant, hands-on attraction for families and a key stopping point in any family’s day out or weekend away.”
Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
