For kids the pattern pod is great! If you are driving car park on street is free after 1.30pm on Saturdays.

Quite poor. Not so much a museum but a confusing display of random stuff of not much interest. Entrance free, but Plenty money grabbing opportunities inside. Most floors are just games. Boring.

Don't miss Charles Babbage's preserved brain on the second floor!

if you'd like to go on any of the paid exhibitions, go on the fly 360 capsule.

lots of faked exhibits - fake lunar lander, early steam engines have no internals, apparently 1950s valve based computers use microsoft mice

Can spend the whole day there, but the cafeteria on the first floor is terrible, to say the least.

Bring own food and drink, £1.80 for a can of coke and £6 for a sandwich is crazy
