Great shows and the DarkLab series includes wine and cheese ! Although "Listening to the the Universe " was a little disappointing.

The Above and Beyond exhibition is pretty good. Lots for the kids to learn and interact with.

Planetarium is great but isn't free. Worth it, though.

Great for the kids. Remember to pack food, the food they have are overpriced, disgusting and unhealthy for kids

House Secrets exhibition downstairs lets you get up close to your furniture . Interesting for kids.

Dinosaurs are not life size; e.g. T-Rex is about half size.

Cafe is quite small & doesn't really have cooked food. Only sandwiches , pies , chips & stuff. At least the coffee is decent.
