They're got an Apollo capsule (10) its BEEN ROUND THE MOON. Not in space gallery, but DO find it further on.
Tetsuo ShimaJanuary 28, 2012The actual information is aimed at children and people who aren't very scientific, but the activities are fun and good for families.
Nuno OliveiraAugust 19, 2011Nice museum! Don't go late, it has much to see and it realy closes at 18:00!!
Vincent B.October 23, 2010For kids the pattern pod is great! If you are driving car park on street is free after 1.30pm on Saturdays.
Lolla MoonMay 30, 2013Quite poor. Not so much a museum but a confusing display of random stuff of not much interest. Entrance free, but Plenty money grabbing opportunities inside. Most floors are just games. Boring.
Ikmal NordinMarch 11, 2012if you'd like to go on any of the paid exhibitions, go on the fly 360 capsule.
Manic MynaApril 29, 2013lots of faked exhibits - fake lunar lander, early steam engines have no internals, apparently 1950s valve based computers use microsoft mice
Come to the electronic music exhibition - you will learn something
HarkableFebruary 24, 2012In 2011 89% of visitors said they learnt something new during their visit - no pressure then...
Arthur StoyakovJanuary 10, 2019Can spend the whole day there, but the cafeteria on the first floor is terrible, to say the least.
Andy TopleyMarch 5, 2012Bring own food and drink, £1.80 for a can of coke and £6 for a sandwich is crazy
