I went to the Science Museum with my three children yesterday. We all really enjoyed ourselves, particularly the Turn it Up exhibition. Unfortunately though the toilets were disgusting. The sanitary bins were overflowing and there were bloody tissues on the floor (which was covered in urine). I really expected better.

There’s something here for everyone. It’s an enormous museum with a wide range of exhibits and you could easily spend all day. Our kids (4 and 6) loved the Wonderlab exhibit in particular, and the short ‘lecture’ session we attended as part of it was perfectly pitched and engaging. We visited on the first Saturday in the autumn half term holidays so it was unsurprisingly very busy. Would recommend trying to pick a quieter time if you can. That said, the timed ticketing system worked well and we didn’t find ourselves stuck in long queues at any point.

Almost everything about this museum is great! Enjoyed the exhibits, went to two of the paid attractions and loved it! But, whatever you do, don't order the pre-packed lunch!!! Without doubt the worst sandwiches ever made and we didn't even save any time. Just get a regular lunch.

We visited with family in August 2023. It was extremely busy. We were excited to visit with our own children for the first time, having visited ourselves years before. Unfortunately, it was not the experience we expected or were hoping for. The children were looking forward to getting stuck in to many different activities and interactions, but we found that these were actually few and far between. Not to mention that most of them now require extra payment. In order to do all of these activities would have cost in excess of £200. For a "free, interactive museum", it was a disappointing end to a long day in London. Towards the end of the day, we did find some interactive exhibits that were included, but they all had long queues to use, and there were as usual people hogging them and no staff members ensuring everyone gets a fair go. By this point the children were bored and fed up and just wanted to go home. So in summary, a large museum with much to see, but be prepared to pay a steep price to see the interactive areas.

Spent a rainy afternoon here and it was a lot of fun. It's 4 floors with a variety of exhibits that range from medicine to many types of engineering, mathematics, space, and steam power. I was able to get through all 4 floors in about 4.5 hrs including a break for lunch. In a few of the exhibits they had an elevated pathway that helps you see the stuff on display from a different, higher perspective. They had a special exhibit on COVID-19: the virus, the vaccine, and the distribution of it. It was pretty interesting. Admission is free with a suggested donation. I walked right in, even without advanced tickets, although the ability to book tickets ahead of time is very handy. The museum shop is pretty good size with lots of science-related games and kits. I did come on a Sunday so I should have expected it but, a word of caution to others visiting by themselves: there were a lot of kids everywhere. I think during the week it might not be so crazy.

Great museum which we spent over five hours visiting. Our grandson said it was the part of his trip to London. Sadly the food offering was poor quality for the price and it was like feeding time in a zoo. The cafe was noisy and it sounded like staff behind the scenes were throwing bottles into a bottle bank. On our next visit we’ll eat elsewhere or do like many seemed to, take our own. Thoroughly recommend a visit with its many interactive activities.

We were excited to see their new exhibition on music but it was extremely average. Given the opportunity to create something interactive and engaging it was very disappointing and mainly consisted of cardboard text displays. The wonderland is also very overpriced and needs updating. If you take a pram you will spend most of your visit waiting for the lifts which are small and infrequent.

A good day out for the family. I found it interesting and great to bring back memories of my childhood. My children of 4 and 7 are maybe a little too young still. They were happy to look around but soon got bored. Although a free attraction, there are numerous rooms you can pay to visit. Make sure you do some research before you go. You don’t have to pay for these rooms to have a good day out.

A bit of a mixed bag really for me at least. Some things I found interesting but other things I had no interest at all. I also feel like I wouldn’t consider certain parts science. Seeing the older computers was interesting and the merman was one of my favourite parts of the museum, a member of staff chatted to me about the history behind it. I also loved the brain in the jar and the different types of fears.

Very good place. There is something for everyone in this museum. I went with my 2 young kids & some friends. We all had an amazing time. My 9 year old enjoyed some hands on experience game. It’s a shame that all the fun games for kids that were free earlier are now part of a paid exhibition. Check-in was easy & seamless. Irrespective of the huge crowds, inside the museum was easy & not much impacted. Covid journey exhibition was good.
