Catalyst Science Discovery Centre
Experience an amazing journey of discovery in Catalyst's new Interactive Theatre and enter a colourful world of science and technology in our three hands-on galleries.

Catalyst is an interactive science centre and museum devoted to chemistry and how the products of chemistry are used in every day life.

Our key aim is to make science exciting and accessible to people of all ages and to inform them about science based industries and their role in our lives, past present and future.

Catalyst is great action-packed family attraction with an excellent educational focus. Schools visit during term time to take advantage of our curriculum based education programme.

During school holidays everyone can take part in our special events and activities.

Visit our shop or cafe and travel 30 metres above the River Mersey in our external glass lift to marvel at the views. Science has never been so much fun!
