    We went as a family of 2 adults and 3 children (15,9,8) before the half term rush and we went in the afternoon and any school trips were leaving when we arrived. The museum is super interactive and kept all 3 kids busy for the whole 3 hours we were there and we would have stayed longer but the museum closed at 5pm. There was so many brilliant things for the kids to touch, play with, read and learn from but in a fun way. I properly appreciated the science experiments section and the arts and crafts, both of which had a member of staff to help the visitors.

    Went to one of the adult late night events celebrating 50th anniversary of PInk Floyd's Dark Side of the Moon, which was played along side stunning visuals in the planetarium. Bonus of the evening was wine available and the host started the event with an introductory talk about the moon. Staff amazingly knowledge, friendly and professional. Wonderful space for learning and being amazed.

    One of the best science museums we've been to. They're open only 10am to 3pm on weekdays in term time, and arriving at midday 3 hours wasn't enough especially as we had a snack on arrival. There was only 1 school party and so it wasn't crowded. Staff were very helpful. No parking at the centre itself but Times Square car park is just a few minutes walk.

    No lifts working . We had our disabled son with us in his Weelchair. Was a ramp to use but that’ not easy to push him he is heavy so is his chair . I seen pictures of dinosaurs when we got there there wasn’t none . Says there’s a changing places on internet but there isn’t just a baby changer and a disabled toilet . No good to change a 11 year old on a toilet floor and he is to big for a bay changer
    Life Visitor Experience Team
    Hi Lesley, thank you for your feedback. We are disappointed to hear that your visit to the Science Centre did not go as expected. We understand and apologise for the inconvenience of having to use the ramp to go between floors. We are currently installing a new improved lift which will make going between floors easier. Our changing places toilet is located near reception which contains an adult changing bench, baby changing bench, hoist, and grab rails - did our team point this out to you? Unfortunately, the Dino Jaws exhibition left the Science Centre in 2017, would it be possible to let us know where you have seen these images? We understand this may not have been the visit you predicted, but we hope this doesn’t deter you from returning in the future. Thanks
