Wonderlab at the Science Museum

Arguably the one thing missing from the main body of the Science Museum is the opportunity to do any actual science. But that’s what the Wonderlab is for, a kiddie nirvana of safe, repeatable experiments that run the gamut from exploring friction via a series of slides with differeremt surfaces, to the opportunity to do some pretty wild things with fire, electricity and magnets. Get stuck into the interactive exhibits or time your visit to take on the oft explosive daily shows and demonstrations. It’s recommended for ages seven to 14 and booking in advance is highly advised. Althought it’ll set you back a bit, the exhbition would be swamped if it was open access, and if you think there’s any chance you’d go two or more times in a year then the annual memberships are excellent value.
