Traveler reviews
Leighton Carter
★★★★★2 months agoVery enjoyable visit. Easily accessible via nearby public transport. Huge collection of old and new technology. Nostalgic at times. Can be a bit hectic with large school groups arriving, can noisy sometimes too. Fairly large number of interactive exhibits. For anyone interested in science and technology I would recommend a visit. As with most museums, no back packs and no food/drink.
MARIAN MIRAUTE
★★★★★4 months agoA great experience, you need one day for a quick tour, but if you really want to experience the hole museum than you need much more time than that. Our son was delighted and had loads off fun. So many hand on experiments where kids and even adults can see first hand the effects of electricity and magnetism and so many other priciples.
