Students thoroughly enjoyed their visit to the Science Museum, especially the Wonderlab, where hands-on exhibits and interactive activities brought science to life. The experience sparked curiosity about a range of STEM careers, including forensics, medicine, engineering, and various technical professions. Students were particularly fascinated by the virtual reality experiences, which provided an exciting glimpse into how emerging technologies are shaping the future. The trip encouraged them to think about new possibilities for their own careers and deepened their appreciation of science and innovation. Overall, it was an inspiring and engaging educational experience that left a lasting impression on the group. Just based on verbal feedback returning home you could hear them relating the experience to each other and to the teachers who accompanied them-even students who visited before enjoyed the experience.

Whilst this is a big venue - it didn't feel like it was pitched towards their age group

This is really dependent upon the exhibit that is on at the time, there are some good history links too in places.

The queueing system to enter the Museum was overwhelming and made us late. Everything else was amazing, especially the interaction and support of staff in the Wonderlab. For a school trip, I would have liked to have a fixed space for lunch.

Wonderlab was the best in terms of engagement and tactile activities. We wished we had longer than an hour. We chose a floor - Information Age- to be on in the science museum. Great information, not too much to read, great toilet facilities and easy to navigate. Lunch area and shop really convenient and large enough to accommodate everyone.
