About

Using the university’s wonderful Cruickshank Botanic Garden and fantastic Zoology Museum the centre aims to inspire everyone in the living environment.

Our hands-on education room also lets visitors see nature in close-up. Come and get up close to the local mammals and birds from our taxidermy collection and huge skulls, snake skins and whale bones from our handling collection.

Although originally founded by Conoco (U.K.) Limited the centre is now fully supported by the University of Aberdeen.
