As a Secondary Science Teacher, I’ve been to many Science centres/museums across the country and was very impressed with this one. Having changed the way we teach/language we use about Energy, I’ve been unimpressed with a number of them recently when they’re still using the wrong language that could confuse pupils - but not here!!! Very impressed. When I first walked in, I wondered if there would be enough for us to do. But Oh yes! We got there at 11 and left at closing at 4:30. My kids (10 and 15 and also having been to lots of Science centres) spent lots of time on lots of the different areas (and I even got a bit addicted to one of the games they had set up - downloaded and now playing at home!) and had a wonderful time. I could see that if it was really busy you might not get to go on lots of the bits and so find it not as good. They got to take part in an Engineering Hands On Workshop and a VR Headset session.
We liked the ‘scienced up’ cafe and the food was good. We ended up getting three sets of coffee while we were there..
Overall, very impressed. The kids and I both said - shame there’s not one like this closer to home, as we’d be there all the time!
