A vast treasury of science and invention, famous for its state-of-the-art interactive exhibits.
Science Museum in Kusti
Description
Overall I had a fantastic experience, its one of those museums where you can go with a friend to try together all the interactive things inside. Unfortunately, is not always easy to find some sections, I found hard to reach the flight zone (an internal hangarwithout asking to the personnel.
MoreVery nice place, worth to visit & donate some £ . Interactive sience place, a lot of info about history of goods, aviation, transportation... yes. Reserve some 3-4 hours of your time to spend there.Note that flight simulators need to be reserved in advance.Have fun
MoreAmong a great variety of free museums in London, since museum is standing out with their focus on large-scale achievements in techniques and fundamentals about cars, space and aircraft, energy, etc. Will be interesting to kids and adults. It deserves all 5 stars. Do not leave it for later, go now 😁
MoreIt’s free! But you have to book the ticket!You can do it from their website, but you can also do it at the front desk at the museum ( which was what I did).The place is awesome, they did a really good job with the lights and it’s very organized.I was a little bit lost regarding the lifts, as not all the lifts go through all floors, so you have to take a specific lift to go to the second floor!But I recommend the visit!They close at 18, but the last entry is at 17:15, don’t forget that!
MoreThoughts: this museum is very interesting as it tells the story of innovation and evolution of human technology through the years. For someone who was born in the 80s, it was very nostalgic to see the technology of that era once again. The flight section in particular was too much fun for me. Expect a crowded experience with too many kids around.Time: around 2.5 to 3 hoursChildren: among all other museum, this is the most suitable for children as there is a full section of interactive games and virtual reality experience.
MoreWe visited during summer holidays, so very busy period. When we arrived there was not very long line, however was going quickly. If you dont book your tickets, you can do it outside the museum. Exhibition its amazing. We didnt go for any of the movies or flight simulator as there was no availability. Booking for them in advance is required. Shop is full of nice things. Tube its not very far away. There are other museums near by.
MoreHas been a number of years since I went there last until recently when I was in London. Arrived early to avoid the crowd. Enjoyed it throughout, always great fun. My favourite part has to be space exploration, cant beat that.
MoreOne of the best museums in London from top to bottom. Great building in a good location and free entry also the staffs are very nice and helpful.Good place for family day out also next to natural history museum so you can kill 2 birds with one stone visit both while you are in the area.Will definitely recommend and go again it will be good to go during week days as it get very busy on weekends.
MoreThe museum is incredible and fascinating. It took like 3 hours to visit but I recommend if you want to not fast-forward everything to take 2 hours for each floor. The museum has 3 floors.
MoreAbsolutely spectacular day.This place is massive and it took me a whole afternoon to get round it.Lots to see and learn.Great learning place for children.It has 2 little cafes and rest rooms.The shop for souvenirs is, also great.Top place and completely free. I booked in advance online.
MoreThis is just a fantastic place for everyone. My 7 year old loves the WonderLab are which you have to pay but you can spent easily 4 hrs there with shows & activities. Rest of the museum is incredible too in case you dont want to pay for the extra.
MoreThis place was amazing! Everything was well cured and divided in sections. Maps are really useful if you want to visit specific area first. Each item is well explained, and located in a specific timeline. I loved to learn the story of the object and the contemporary scenario in which it was used or built. The necessity behind each item and the reason why new discoveries were made necessary was interesting too. There are also interactive exposition, so it is really fun learning experiencing with you own hands. It took me two days to explore everything as I wanted, but I think that it is possible to have a quick look in one day, stopping for longer time only in those sections in which youre more interested in.This is a great place to bring your kids! There are a lot of fun stories and everything is fascinating.The free entry is a plus, of course.
MoreThe science museum never fails to amaze me. Took my 3 year old and he found it fascinating. The museum has a basement garden, but really its a play area and a water splash area for young children which my son couldnt get enough of. Sadly, we didnt have enough time to explore the whole museum as its so big.
MoreTickets are free, I’d suggest book them online to avoid long queues. 4 floors of General Knowledge in all. Space section is my favorite of all. A bunch of cafes inside with variety of food to choose from. Plan for a full with family to cover everything.
MoreAn inspirational place for adults as well as children.Perhaps a little poorly organised and at times confusing about where to go or what’s free and what’s not free.A little disappointed too to see some of the same exhibitions as I saw over 10 years ago. I would’ve expected the one about the body to have been completely changed by now.It’s a large place and quite exhausting with small children, so probably worth doing small amounts on each visit.Even if you don’t buy a ticket for a paid exhibition, factor in the shop in your budget for the trip!
MoreAwesome place with lots of scientific and historical science inventions from all around the world. The place has a great atmosphere for all age groups including adults. I have been here few times and it has always been a very good learning experience for my children.
MoreFree to get in. My 5 year old loved the whole thing. Fun interactive area with virtual reality of a flood. Pattern Pod is great fun for the under 8s. The space area was our favorite with shuttles, globes, astronauts and a real piece of the moon!
MoreAs good as I can remember. Last visit was when I was a child and will definitely be back when my youngest is a little older. My little one was a bit overwhelmed but still enjoyed the exhibits. This is definitely a museum to get lost in.
MoreAbsolutely breath taking place to take your kids for the day. There is soo much for them to do. It was so good we booked to go to other museum but ended staying all day. I will highly recommend.
MoreAfter previously visiting this museum, I didnt allocate enough time to see everything. The engines and medical sections were amazing and full to the rafters with amazing displays. On my next visit I will be definitely revisiting.
MoreFabulous, must visit if in London. They have a great teaching for all there kids and adults. Its for free, need to book / reserve online, to make it convenient. Staff there are very helpful and kind. Massive learning. Amazing museum. My kids enjoyed the museum.Toilets are clean. There are floors to see, so try to get early.
MoreLoved it! We went straight to the wonder world section (kids experiments about heat, electricity, wind, water… beware it costs £19 per adult !We spent 2h there, and saw a show about explosions ! My son loved it and so did I !
MoreWe only had 2 hours to wander around as we had a full packed day but could easily have spent double that here. You have to pre book tickets in advance which is fine and you can add a donation. There were quite a few interactive exhibits not working on our visit but my 5 year old wasnt too bothered. An unbelievable amount of things to see and learn under one roof!
MoreA wonderful place to visit for an hour, or a day or a week! The building architecture is breathtaking and the display design and layout is superb. There are snack and restaurant places to relax and recharge mobiles and plenty of clean toilets. Finally the display items themselves are really interesting, all with summary descriptions.
MoreIts a free entry! What more could you ask for. You can easily be in there for hours. So much to see. Great for kids as there so much you can talk about. Definitely recommend
MoreVery nice. It is massive and has multiple levels to walk through. Tickets are required and donations are appreciated. There is an imax theater inside and costs 12 pounds for adults, it shows two documentaries about nature and such. There is also an flight simulator that costs 12 pounds for 2 people. Really nice and I recommend it a lot
MoreA fantastic museum which is filled with fascinating things from all over the world of science. For anyone interested in science this is the place for you. I would recommend booking a free ticket in advance to avoid having to wait when you arrive.
MoreSo big so something to do over 2 days,we will go back for sure.The museum is free and has a play area for children on the basement level called the garden.My two young ones loved it.The food not so great.
MoreIts a little bit confusing to walk through the different areas. Most of the time you have to go back and go through the room multiple times and there is no real order. This is different in the newer sections, like the digital information area.I would like more pieces of interaction, which would help to bring along the information for a younger audience. But since the visit is free its well worth a visit.
MoreAlways a pleasure to visit there.. the addition of the power up room is awesome. Able to show memory lane and original electronics and video games to my son. No doubt will be back before the year is out!
MoreI really love the experience of this museum. There is so many different areas that science evolved, and here you can see them very well in a clean and organized space. I suggest to reserve 3-4 hours to see everything and enjoy the full experience.
MoreCertain parts of the museum were great but we found it wasnt signposted very well as you walked around and the 2 sets of stairs either side of the lift made it very confusing. £7 for 2 waters as I couldnt see anywhere we could refill our bottles I thought was quite steep although we could keep the bottles they came in. My children loved the space section but unfortunately the interactive area upstairs was mainly not working.
MoreFun, educational and certainly a visit you wont forget in a hurry. The myriad levels of things to see and do are sometimes staggering and you wont be bored by everything that you see. Being a science fanatic, I absolutely loved my time here and even the gift shop has some decently priced things - especially the books! I dont even need to recommend the museum as the reviews here speak for themselves.
MoreReally good museum for both adults and kids, we love to go there regularly. The museum always clean and staff always helpful. There is many things for kids to do and try and many things for adults to discover and know more about.
MoreGood place for Kids and Science Lovers. Interesting Museum with lots of amazing things. Entry is free for all but you have to book your entry before going. Lots of things to do.More to explore as there is wonderland and 3d Theater and Simulator as well at a very reasonable price.
MoreA very nice museum with some great expositions i.e. the airplanes and space technology is good. 4 Flores with different themes of science, you can have a good view of everything within 2 to 4 hrs. There is also some (payed3d flight simulator and 3D movie attraction. Unfortunately during our visit it was only available in 2D which was a bit disappointing. But over all a nice place to bring a visit.
MoreIts amazing! I lived being there so much! The place is massive. They also do like pop-up events such as the retro facing Ive I went to which had a great collection of retro games you could play and it was epic!
MoreAn interesting visit to the Science museum to visit the Ancient Greek exhibition and the to the IMAX Cinema to way h the 3D Hubble Film.The Ancient Greek exhibition was rather disappointing as there were very few exhibits probably designed for children and teenagers.Lots of interesting exhibits and interactive features.Great place to spend an afternoon and especially to take kids.
MoreGreat place to visit with kids! The ground floor is about space exploration and some old machines. There is a floor about medical science. Another one for math and science. One for the digital age and telecommunication and the last one about flying machines.My kids loved it! It is easy to spend at least 4 hours there.Entry is free but it is useful to book the visit in advance, if it is full they will not take walk in visit.The cafeteria have good food and the ice cream in the top floor is very good!
MoreThe history of Science and how it has changed and evolved the world. Cars and engines and wheels and planes, each seen in its evolution. Medicine an mathematics are subjects of observation and experiment. Experts take courses to adults and children. The space section is very interesting with its lessons and images. Apposite sites are recommended to children with simulation. Its the joy of parents and their children. Its free but its advisable to book in advance.
MoreLovely science museum great to take your children with you. Theyve little dinners inside and a great shop to shop in. Theyve 3 floors you can explore on. Great day out with the family for sure.
MoreWe went on Friday, at 10am, school holidays.The wait was around 10 min, we pre-booked the tickets, they are free, donations welcomed. There’s a bag search on the door.We prebooked the Wonderlab for 11am, extra £20 for 2 children & 1 adult.We managed to see the first floor in the first hour - kids loved it, loads of interesting facts & information.The Wonderlab was so worth it. We stayed for 3 hours & kids loved the experiments & different areas. So much fun. We even squeezed in a show!We then decided to have a lunch. This was the only low point of the day. There’s a Dinner on Level 0 & it’s not child friendly at all. Adults will pick something up but as for kids. The kids box offers a dry bap with cheese/apple/popcorn. Then there was a ham/cheese baguette, some sandwiches, 2 boxes of vegan & vegetarian food. But nothing really child friendly. Simple tuna white bread sandwich, jam sandwich, even toast would be a win! I spend £22 on 3 baguettes, 2 of which kids didn’t like, so they pretty much just drank their drink. Then I bought some popcorn & luckily I had some crackers with me. As amazing the museum is, the food sucks. Bring your own if you have small children I am sorry SM. Also a reason why I gave only 4 stars, so easy to rectifyWe then continued with the rest of the museum, planes, body, watches, technology- all amazing & kids loved it. It would be great to get all the areas going as we found a few bits taken out, I guess due to previous Covid restrictions? I would hope this returns to normal asap.Anyway, museum on overall, was amazing. The Wonderlab was fantastic. The food, zero points, please do a parents research & update.Just to mention, there’s a very dangerous shop at the end lol 😆. If you have children like mine, desperate to buy something but unable to decide, please leave at least 45min for the shop.There’s loads of toilets, easily accessible with a buggy, wheelchair. Many lifts.Have fun. We did, so definitely recommend this museum & would come back.
MoreA really adventurous day out with the family, lots to explore and learn. The gift shops are relevant in what they offer and pricing is very reasonable for a museum. Honestly would highly recommend for a family day out! (Just make sure you book you free tickets in advance).
MoreGreat museum where you will go through a lot of eras from our evolution in how we make use of science in our everyday life. From transport to medicine and space exploration, you wont miss a thing! 3 to 4h to walk around approximately.
MoreThis place is great. The museum has some cool and interesting things.Children and adults all will have something to their liking and will definitely have a good time.It is recommended that tickets be bought online beforehand to avoid last minute chaos. For those wondering, the tickets are free!There are cafes if you need refreshments and of course pay a visit to the gift/souvenirs shop for some cool memorabilia.You will easily spend 2 hours or more so be prepared and make your plans accordingly.Have a good time!
MoreTheres so much to see and do here! If you want to look at all the exhibits in detail youd need a whole day and even then you might be pushing it! Theres lots of interesting information to read and exhibits to see on a wide variety of topics, the highlights were certainly the making the modern world gallery which had countless different interesting objects on display; the medicine galleries covered all aspects of medicine and a bit of its history very well; and the gallery on communications was also very extensive and told in great detail about all aspects of communication from telegraph to satellite. Theres also lots of interactive displays if you have children. The only slight complaint I have is it felt extremely busy on my visit and it was quite difficult to read all the information on the displays with all the children running around, however, this is probably just my fault for visiting at half term; would definitely recommend visiting in term time if you can.
MoreGreat museum! Very interesting things to see. You definitely need more than 2 and a half hours, and I am referring to the free view, not the special exhibitions. Also IMAX is brilliant. Just seen a 3D movie about Antarctica.
MoreGreat collections and wide verity of the developments in the science. Steam engines , exploring the space, a real moon rock , evaluation of modern world ,significant medical collections in the world, clock makers collection , mathematics transformation, Information Age transmission, signaling, Morse codes , telegrams, radios, computers , mobile phones.Place for kids and science enthusiasts.Average time to spend 2-3 hrsFree
MoreAn amazing day out for all ages. We went to the Wonderlab exhibition with a 1 year old & 6 year old - they both loved it! The tickets were a great price for all that’s on offer! Brilliant staff that added to the fun too. The cafe outside didn’t have much choice for lunch but there are lots of other cafes in the building that have more options. The ice cream & milkshakes were great though!
MoreReally cool museum. Lots to see on the 4 floors - the entire experience takes you through different industrial eras.Would recommend to plan to spend at least 3 hours in order to have enough time to walk around and see most of the exhibitions. 😊
