Such lovely, friendly and welcoming staff. A nice place to visit. You get to explore science and art put together. Many stunning pieces of artwork. Huge space with so much to offer. New cafe onsite as well which offers a nice range. The pasta was delicious and our coffees were too. Also the pastrami sandwich was so good. Service was lovely as well.

Science is vast.. in this science gallery more effort need to be put. Little innovative things for kids is very much needed. Atleast internal organs of human body moulds would also be educational for kids. Small experiments or any science instruments for gallery from olden days to new Era can also be helpful for the viewers knowledge. This science gallery is not for kids educational knowledge.

This place is fantastic, with a cute little healthy cafe. Displaying the bottles of your drink choices in a place that could be seen at all would help, as he had to pull samples from the cooler to show us. Poor design easily fixed with a display. Brilliant exhibit on currently called Mental. Do go see it and have a play with the art! We've been twice. My only other comment on the building design is that the staircase down to classes (as seen in pics) is really not human friendly and I suspect there will be accidents as it's on an unusual angle.

2023: Dark Matters exhibit, collaboration with Arts at CERN. 2021: Great space with huge potential, combining interactive and informative, social scientific exhibits. The hybrid, staircase/theatre seating, looks promising for future audiences.
