- One of the best museums of its kind in the world. Far too much to see in one visit, so if you can it is best to "dip in" on short visits. The kids will love the space galleries!
- IAugust 28, 2015Always loved it here but it gets a little tedious for an adult. Nonetheless it's definitely worth a visit- the ground floor space room is really cool and their shop is nice.Upvoted Feb 25
- Cenk GümüşcüoğluFebruary 9, 2016The "Cosmonauts" exhibition was the main reason we visited the museum and it was remarkable. The permanent sections are joyful as well. Lots of planes to see. Especially kids would love this museum...
- Z PFebruary 11, 2015The 'space tour' at 2pm (not sure if it's on every day is free and the volunteer tourguide (Joe) was very friendly & informative. He even extended the tour from 30mins to almost an hour. Nice man. :)
- Good museum for little and older ones. I love going there every time, the permanent exhibitions and temporary ones are always good. The shop is probably the best part :)
- DavidJune 28, 2015There are plenty of things to learn at Science museum; does not matter how old you are. Very comprehensive exhibitions. Free WiFi. I loved the communication part with first Cray super calculator.
- Michael FitzgeraldFebruary 13, 2015Amazing place to go check out, possibly too big, but even so they give you plenty of seats to sit on! Would take best part of half a day or even an entire day to check out all the stuff they have here
- Abdulrahman Almunayes 🇰🇼February 13Free tickets are available online, huge museum! you need long hours to see all areas. Nearby so many attractions, underground tunnels, tube & bus stations for easy access. Tickets Bar Codes required
- Car TMay 15, 2016this was my favorite museum as a child and still is. usually, there's some type of interactive exhibit where you can play and build things. really good for children but still, suitable for all ages.
- Chris R (thechristophe)November 10, 2014The new Information Age exhibit is a must see, that aside the permanent collections are brilliant
- Leonard HansonJuly 12, 2015Computing and technology gallery is great but beware, if you're over 40 having so many childhood memories on display is a museum can be unnerving!
- Guido GybelsDecember 18, 2015One of the best museums in London, organised thematically. Great for a rainy or cold day.

- H RSeptember 25, 2014Free admission to a big museum full of many exhibits & interactive elements. Go to the "Lates" evening that runs monthly on the last Wednesday for adults. Starts at 18:45
- IrinaAugust 14, 2014The exhibits are interesting, up to a point. If you need a break from the barrage of stimuli, head to the cafe. It offers a welcome respite for an overwhelmed brain and uniquely ambient tabletops.
- Guido GybelsDecember 18, 2015The Cosmonauts exhibition (until 13 March 2016) has some amazing exhibits. Make sure to get the audio guide, voiced by Helen Sharman who was the first woman to visit the Mir space station.

- Nanna MøllerAugust 18, 2017It's very big, so it gets a little overwhelming. I was surprised that it wasn't more child-friendly. We went to their big cinema and it was really good. We went to their 4D cinema - it wasn't good.
