Great place to visit. I recently had a wonderful time exploring a truly great place! I brought my son along, who's very interested in the engineering field, and he absolutely adored it. It was so inspiring to see his eyes light up with all the innovative displays. We spent hours learning and exploring, making it a perfect outing for us both. I highly recommend this destination for anyone with a curious mind or an interest in how things work. #EngineeringAdventures #FamilyFun #InspiringPlaces #STEMeducation

I visited the Science Museum with my 14-year-old son, and we both really enjoyed it. The museum is full of fascinating exhibits covering science, technology, space exploration, aviation, and engineering. Many of the displays are interactive, making the experience both educational and fun. It’s a great place for curious minds of all ages and an excellent destination for families. We spent several hours exploring the different galleries and could easily have stayed longer. A must-visit attraction in London for anyone interested in science and innovation.

We all need a science museum! London has been home to many museums, which were always shown on their maps, which I loved to take pictures of. But, I felt lucky to go in this one. This museum will celebrate anything with many categories of transport, inventions, space & energy. There are some interactive elements about identity; learning about the things in past centuries &... There is a place in the energy department where there is a focus on climate change & what we could do about it. And we saw inventors of [grandfather] clocks. All of that was very important to know - maybe I should return for memory revision.

I've been coming here since I was at Uni (now 56) and this museum just gets better! Superbly curated exhibits, lots for the interested and the expert too. The galleries were intriguing, inviting and exciting. We went for the Star Trek 60 ehibition and the trail throughout the museum was an excellent idea and made a small number of exhibits feel much bigger! Even the temporary Space gallery was very well done, the highlights were all there and I can't wait to see what the new gallery will be like. I would have given it a 5/5 last time I was here just a few years ago. It's twice as good now. Well worth a visit, especially if you've been before!

It's a great museum and suitable for adults and kids. We had tickets is advance but still had to get on the same queue with those that didn't so the is not much point of getting tickets in advance, at least when we went. The queue was fast and we get inside in about 10-15 minutes on a Sunday. There are a lot of interactive activities for kids.
