Yhe place has been open for just over a year and this was our second visit. There are several sections to the Centre but the area we visited was the Life Interactive World. This is a visitor attraction which aims to explain the basics of DNA and evolution in a fun and interactive way. There are several ... ...actors entitled the Secret of Life Show.
