National Science and Media Museum

Nice experimental place. Some parts of the museum was under reconstruction I couldn't see all but still worth to visit.

We came on a Saturday afternoon after booking tickets online that morning. You are asked to make a voluntary donation and it is £2 per person for the games room which I cannot recommend highly enough. The museum is on 5 floors and we spent 4 hours in total exploring it. I think we spent about an hour in the games room which is full of old arcade games such as space invaders and pacman plus some old console games. There is a whole floor dedicated to photography with cameras going back 130 years. We thoroughly enjoyed the day and as a free museum it is great.

A nice day out for the family, lots to see. The dinosaur 3D experience is great for children. There is an interactive floor for children to learn too including a small mirror maze.

Superb day out. Parked nearby for a reasonable cost (Sharpe Street Car Park). Free entry. Really loved the exhibitions all though some were closed and the museum will be closed soon for 13 months! The cafe was nice and staff showed care in all they did. Staff were all pleasant and friendly. The Light Show was also enjoyed by the all the children. This was in the Wonderlab which was my favourite space. The game area is worth it for £2 each but don't expect anything less than 15 years old (minimum) which is fair. There's also an indoor picnic space if you are on a budget and want to bring your own food. We spent 5 or so hours there without seeing an Imax show but did have 2 young children in tow.

Awesome! Fun for all ages. The history of photography, media, the Internet... so much to learn. The kids had fun doing th3 ciphers. The space exhibition was cool. It was interesting to see and feel the materials used for space pants. The interactive section was a nice touch. 6 (5) floors of fun. The science show was fun. It was about coding. Jerry brought Ada Lovelace, Alan Turing and Mary Jackson, Dorothy Vaughan, and Katherine Johnson (The Hidden Figures) to life. Everyone was engaged. The rocket test was the perfect ending. Fun day out. All indoors so the bad weather didn't spoil the fun. Definitely worth a visit. Don't forget to book tickets in advance online.
