This museum used to be the best thing in London in my eyes but I visited a few months ago and was really upset empty galleries and generally empty compared to the past. They seem to be going down the line of creating the tate modern with some of their exhibits lots of visual but no sense to most. Sorruy... more

Me and my fiance were very disappointed with this museum. It was very difficult to navigate around the floors and find your way around the place. There were several large empty spaces with no exhibits and the musuem is mainly ful of cafes, shops and attractions that you have to pay for. Many of the exhibits and interactive stations were... more

We visited the science museum on a friday after the natural history mueum at around midday. There were no queues at all. There is tonnes to see but a few of the exhibitions were closed. Lots of big displays which helps to hold your attention. I dont even think we saw everything this museum has to offer! The eating area... more

I took my mum to the Science Museum, she's old and doesn't get out much so this place was ideal. The shop was fantastic! They had a big ramp leading down to it. I liked the lifts you could see out of. As for the galleries, they're chock full of weird and wonderful stuff. We saw some old clocks, telephones,... more

Visited because i love the Science Centre we have at home, so i thought it might be interesting. It was a fun few hours, with some interesting stuff. Would be great for kids, with lots of activities and a huge IMAX theater. more

Ok so I took Science A Levels and my partner is just round the corner at Imperial so we're going to tell you its amazing whatever. But genuinely a brilliant museum. I have to say I went to Parc de la Villette last year to the French museum of Science and Industry and I have to say, it failed to... more

The science museum is free and like an indoor playground for toddlers in the basement. My son had a ball and also enjoyed the entrance (I think ground floor) with transport -airoplanes, buses etc. In my top 10 of things to do with children while in London. And next door is the Natural History Museum with the dinosuars. more

We have just returned from a holiday in London. We visited both museums . The Science museum was pretty easy to find and quite quiet on most floors. But on the hands on experiment room everyone wasn't sharing so my kid hardly got on anything. They have motion simulators that we wanted to go on but it was a rip... more
