Gift Aid

The government has a special scheme for charities like Aberdeen Science Centre. The prices displayed include a voluntary 10% donation to your ticket prices. If you are a UK tax payer, we’re allowed to claim Gift Aid on the whole amount you’ve paid which helps us inspire more people with science.
