Dundee Science Centre

Chance to Strike Gold on Board Dundee Buses!

Families travelling on Xplore Dundee services this summer could strike gold, with free family tickets to Dundee Science Centre hidden on board select buses throughout August.

The Golden Ticket Giveaway is the result of a new partnership between Xplore Dundee and Dundee Science Centre, aiming to bring a sense of fun and discovery to journeys across the city and further afield.

From now until the end of August, golden tickets will be hidden each week aboard two of Xplore Dundee’s flagship services:

  • The Discover Dundee open-top tour bus, which runs Wednesday to Sunday, 10am–5pm, showcasing the best of the city from the waterfront to Dundee Law
  • The Fly coach service, connecting Edinburgh Airport to Dundee city centre 24 hours a day, a fast and comfortable option for arrivals and departures

Lucky passengers who find a golden ticket will receive free family entry to Dundee Science Centre, unlocking a day of hands-on exhibits and interactive learning for all ages.

Stephen Riggans, Area Director for McGill’s Scotland East, said, “We’re thrilled to be partnering with Dundee Science Centre on this golden ticket giveaway. It’s a fantastic way to combine fun, learning and exploration and to showcase everything our great city has to offer, whether you’re arriving from Edinburgh or taking in the sights on the Discover Dundee tour.”

Jill Farrell, CEO, Dundee Science Centre, added: “We know school holidays can be expensive, so we’re thrilled to be working with Xplore to surprise passengers with free tickets to the Science Centre. It’s all about removing barriers and making science fun and accessible for everyone, whether you’re a local family looking for an affordable day out or a tourist exploring the area. As a Green Tourism (Gold) accredited attraction, we’re also proud to support more sustainable travel choices and encourage people to hop on the bus for a day of discovery.”
