Is there a more exciting museum in London – indeed anywhere – than the brilliant inspiring interactive cutting-edge Science Museum For many of its astonishing 2.9 million visitors each year the answer would surely be a resounding ‘no’. What makes it quite so exceptional Well it caters for all the family and – when it comes to children – it doesn’t leave out any age group. This is one museum where you’ll never find a bored child. If anything you might struggle to persuade them to leave at the end of a visit. The bottom line is what makes the science museum great is its combination of hands-on exhibits and the clever way in which it illustrates complicated ideas in an accessible and compelling way. If you’re in London – with or without children – don’t miss it.
