The museum is great and we love the outdoor science garden but they really need to up their game in the cafe!

Expensive, old, dingy and dull. A lot of the touchscreen activity displays didn't work. The Planetarium was dated and boring, I almost fell asleep at one stage. No staff walking around to ask questions to. Not much in the giftshop. The whole collection of activity sheets weren't available, which meant my daughter couldn't fill in all the sheets and collect the stamps... I've been to better free museums. Needs an update and refreshing.
The positives would be the MiniBrum section is great fun for small children. Lots of unguarded coat stands to leave your coat at the entrance of the museum. I left mine there and it was nice to see nobody had stolen it as I went back to collect it at the end of the day. A large number of tables and chairs set up for people to eat their packed lunches by the entrance. The tipping water feature looked fun and was nice and loud. Lots of excited children. The Science Garden was good fun for small children. Students can visit for free on Wednesdays!!!
I'd go again, but it's too expensive as it is, atm. I'd strongly recommend you buy tickets for the Planetarium in advance.

Great place to visit with your children. The activities are fun as well as great learning experience for the children.

Booking in advance is advised as events usually sell out fast such as the planetarium.
We had a fab time. There’s plenty to do and plenty to see. Lots of Interactive displays to keep the children engaged. Lovely role play area at the end and the outside garden was a nice finish to the museum.
The only downside is the price and that you have to pay extra for any events that are at that time youre there.

A family member booked me and my son a suprise visit at 3:45pm, with the 30 min planetarium show.
The problem is the museum shut at 5pm so we only had around 45 mins to explore the rest of the museum which wasn't possible! So they definitely shouldn't put a bookable slot for 3:45pm if you are doing the planetarium show.
Then to top it off, of what we could see in the time, half of the interactive exhibitions didn't work and then most displays are either dirty or tired looking!
Oh yeah and then the security guard following us around at 4:50pm reminding us many times it's about to shut was pretty annoying...
Very disappointing visit.

a nice place to bring the kids to look at some tech ology from the past, the present but sadly not the future.
