Science Museum (London)

Science museum (London)- An indulging must see attraction ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- I used to love science when I was in school. Although I wanted to visit this one quite a few times but it was only last weekend that I could manage to be there. This is an eternal classic collection. The best part is the reach ability as it is located in central London ( South Kensington) which is easily accessible from any parts. Please make no presupposition that it is only to amaze kids as I find so many informative pieces that I was really baffled. I would suggest you take a map while you enter (of course free ...  Read the complete review

The Science museum is in South Kensington, (nearest tube South Ken on the Picadilly line). It is free to enter and you can easily spend a whole afternoon here. I went in August during school holidays (without kids) and it was busy but bearable. There is so much to see and do here , for both adults and children. The Space section is one of the main sections and is very interesting however having visited the Science museum on a school trip when I was 8 I can safely say that some of the displays have not moved , changed or been refurbished in the last 23 years! Some of the space rockets really do look tacky - they are only models anyway but aged 8 I thought they ...  Read the complete review

The Science Museum is located in close proximity to the V&A Museum and the Natural History Museum. Access is direct from South Kensington tube station via an underground pathway, so you and the family are safe from traffic. On entering the museum, you see enormous steam engines, which is quite exciting for any child or engineer. There are notes and animated displays to explain how everything works. I understand that on Mondays and Wednesdays, at midday, the steam generator is switched on and the gigantic flywheel begins to turn. Being steam, it's quiet but impressive. The exhibitions cover a wide variety of scientific inventions, from handmade measuring instruments, ...  Read the complete review

After delaying for many weeks, due to train strikes in my area and other things, I finally got to visit the London Science Museum yesterday. I have vague memories of going there as a child for a school trip but couldn't really remember any details, and I'm sure it had changed a lot anyhow. The best thing about the museum is its price, or lack of one, it's completely free to visit and look round, but there's plenty of donation boxes dotted around for those of you who can afford to give a little back, and its definitely worth giving a contribution for. As well as the museum itself there is the Wallace & Gromit exhibition and IMAX 3D Cinema, both of which ...  Read the complete review

The Science Museum is situated on Exhibition Road, London close to the South Kensington Tube Station. You can reach the museum by following the subway from the tube station which brings you up just next to the entrance to the museum. The museum has over 300,000 items and is spread out over 7 floors although some floors are much larger than others. When we visited in January 2009 several of the exhibition areas were closed for refurbishment so if you want to visit a particular exhibit it might be worth checking ahead that it is actually open. The museum is open 7 days a week and is only closed from the 24th to 26th December. The museum opens daily ...  Read the complete review
