Sir David’s 100th Birthday Bash!

Beloved conservation hero Sir David Attenborough is turning 100, and we’re throwing a birthday party to celebrate – come and join the fun!

Bust a move at the David Disco, create your own party hat, test your skills in our scavenger hunt, or try your luck at Pin the Party Hat on the Giant Moa.

Enjoy animal storytelling sessions for all ages, a tour of the Animal Attic, and our special Birthday Bingo, featuring animal calls from some of David’s favourite creatures.

Strike a pose with David in our themed photobooth and come dressed to impress – we’ll be hosting a best dressed/impersonation contest at 11am!

We’re also thrilled to be launching our newest planetarium show, David Attenborough's Natural History Museum Alive, which lets you experience the wonders of London’s Natural History Museum collection up close on a 360° screen.

With balloons, a bouncy castle, and plenty more surprises, Sir David's 100th Birthday Bash will have something fun for everyone.
