We had a fun with 360 🙃🙃🙃
Asraf Hanafi SpearsMarch 28, 2016
This is a good place for children to learn about science
Kat PondAugust 28, 2011
Free entry so worth a visit but much has not been kept up to date. Lots of broken exhibits and stuff that doesnt work shame. Basement great for kids age 2 to 6. Food is pricey but there are benches

Supernova, black quasar, my mental radar, picks up frequencies way beyond the Earth's equator
Rachel EricksonSeptember 25, 2014
Toilet exhibit down in the basement is well worth a visit!
Lion Witch WardrobeMay 10, 2012
Get out of the museum and head to Narnia! Go to Kensington Gardens and get your tickets to see The Lion, The Witch, and The Wardrobe live on stage today!
SE22 Piano School East DulwichOctober 9, 2011
The lift to the basement is past the space exhibition. Take the accessible lift down if you want to bypass the long wait!
Ben McKenzieSeptember 23, 2011
You must visit Listening Post, an art installation that turns live Internet chat text into beautiful sound and vision.
Magdaline DilesMarch 2, 2016
Lots to see - you won't get through it in a single day.

Best events of any major London museum

Great Museum for kids.
KseniaApril 7, 2015
Don't you even try going there on weekends. This amount of children will eat you alive.
Ivana MaksimovićOctober 15, 2016
Great for kids, but a bit too simple for adults.
Łukasz TyrałaMarch 29, 2018
Bag inspection for sharp object, so to Swiss Army knifes nor scissors!

Go on a Friday around 4:30 - it's quiet!
Alex ComerfordAugust 28, 2013
Don't like that they now make you line up to demand a voluntary donation to get in. Remember you can say no.
Davi LemosDecember 28, 2011
Best Museum in London, try the fantastic 3D Imax Cinema.

If everyone could leave their children at home that would be great. Museum looks like kindergarten

The history of flight exhibit is brilliant, and includes a section cut out of a Boeing 747
Daniel MolnarApril 13
A victim of overtourism and greed to let it overflow.

I'm not into science but I love it here, so interactive

Free entry into the Science Museum although there is a charge for certain exhibitions and the IMAX.

New ticketed wonderlab has decreased congestion in what used to be the Launch Pad

Launchpad rocks, for both kids and big kids. Also check out Lates, last Wednesday of each month... Science and booze!
Alan MortonOctober 27, 2017
Very cool place to take younger teens too

The layout is not very intuitive, so pick a free map at the entrance.
Bartek OlejnikJuly 21, 2015
It is a very interesting place.
David RomeJune 29, 2012
It's free but they put the heavy guilt trip on you when you arrive. Suggesting £20 as a donation to us!

You should not loose the interactive physics games on the 3rd floor of the first gallery.
