Science Museum
I visited with my parents and my two nieces, aged 11 and 12. The science exhibits cater to a wide range of age groups from children to senior adults. However, if you don’t have a strong foundation or interest in science, you might find parts of it less engaging as was the case for my mother. That said, the IMAX 3D shows are absolutely fantastic and definitely worth watching. I especially enjoyed the human body section, probably because I was always drawn to biology as a child.
We absolutely loved our visit to the Science Museum, especially the Wonderlab! It’s an amazing space for kids to explore and engage with different aspects of physics and nature through hands-on games and installations. Both of my boys were completely fascinated — we enjoyed every minute of it. The only downside was how busy it was with school groups. It made the experience a bit overwhelming at times, and I do wish there was an easy way to check crowd levels in advance. That said, it’s still a fantastic, educational, and super fun place for a day out with kids. Definitely a 10/10 — we’ll be back for sure!

Amazing experience. I really recommend to buy tickets for at least one of the "private" exposition and you're gonna be so happy that you escaped the noise of the main galleries. We did the space exposition and i really enjoyed the interactive spots.
I had so much fun. There are exhibits for everyone, kids and adults alike. We stayed for 2h30-3h00 and we visited maybe half. There’s places to eat and elevators if needed. It’s also very nicely placed so you can visit the national history museum and the Victoria and Albert museum at the same time. I do recommend getting tickets in advance to skip the line (they are still free). Some activities cost money though but most of the museum is free.
A great museum, just a short walk around the corner from the National History museum. Perfect for families and children to explore with interactive sections as well as the exhibits. Not overwhelming busy as we entered later in the afternoon. Personally I think we would have enjoyed more had we only seen one museum at a time to be able to enjoy and take it all in, especially for kids but doesn't take away from a great visit.
