Science Museum

The Science Museum is world-renowned for its historic collections, awe-inspiring galleries, family activities and exhibitions - and it's free!

See 1000s of life-changing scientific inventions from Stephenson's Rocket to the Apollo 10 command module, and encounter the past, present and future of technology in seven floors of free galleries, including the Museum's famous hands-on galleries where children have fun investigating science with dedicated Explainers.

New for 2008 is the reinvented and relaunched hands-on, brains-on Launchpad gallery. From firm favourites to world firsts, Launchpad is packed with over 50 interactive exhibits, plus electrifying shows and lively demos, all from the wonderful world of physics.

London's Science Museum is open seven days a week between 10am and 6pm and is the ultimate free fun day out for the whole family - and don't forget to extend your day with a visit to the Science Museum's IMAX cinema! (charges apply)
