Been here a couple of times over the years when I was a child. Great science centre with a core focus on physics and particularly astrophysics. Lots of hands on equipment outside and telescopes indoors for the adults where they host special stargazing evenings.
It's great! Lots of fun things to do and learn about. More impressive than I thought it was going to be given it was cloudy and the telescopes were closed. Will be back on a clear night for sure.
We have visted this place three times over several years and it's always a good but different day out. There are lots of interactive scientific things to do, which we all enjoy. There is always a couple of interesting and varied interactive talks that is made fun for the kids. You won't be disappointed if you visit.
We went to help our 3yr old grandson explore. He loved interacting with the exhibits. It was a joy to see him so excited. The staff were very friendly and helpful, including the man in the cafe. Will bring our grandson back many times I think. It was very cold, but there is a good reason for this, apparently. Just wear more layers!
Absolutely fantastic for kids, our 4 year old loved it but there will be much more to learn there when he's a bit older. Tonnes of well designed and thought provoking interactive exhibits. Speaking as a primary school teacher, this is genuinely one of the best educational places I've visited and in many respects better than the Science Museum in London. Good balance between indoors and outdoors too. The whole place is small and self contained, perfect for a day with showers forecast as you can just pop in and out as you please. Cannot recommend it highly enough, we will definitely be returning!
