We had a fantastic time here, as we don't have kids the best time to visit is on a Thursday evening when it's over 18s only. They reopen from 6pm until 10pm and you can have a great time plus it's only half price to go in then. They had a couple of areas selling beer when we visited and made it a very funny and good natured evening.

This Museum is great for kids because it involves a hands on learning experience. A lot of interactive kiosks, games, puzzles and activities to engage the young ones. It explores topics of science, physics, anatomy, geology and so on. A bit pricey as are the most of the museums here. I checked it out with a friend so entertaining for all age groups. For adults, they have Thursdays after dark with drinks.

Wow what an amazing science museum. My ten year old spent four hours exploring it on a weekday morning when it was mostly deserted. Fun for anyone all ages. Don't miss the amazing giant parabolic mirror and the excellent outdoor exhibits on the pier. One visit is not enough to see/do everything. We'll be back!

One of the most interesting museums I've ever visited (definitely beats Science Museum in London). So much to see and to interact with. For all ages. You won't get bored. There are also insightful talks throughout the day. On-site canteen serves delicious lunch with a great view of Oakland Bay bridge.

A place where creativity and imagination run wild, outstanding for kids of all ages, including grown-up kids like me! So many exhibits, so much to see and do. Everything is hands-on. Comfortable space, there’s even a café for a quick bite. Somewhat expensive adult admission however. Absolutely brilliant curators.
