Great visit, with hands-on and interactive workshop. The wonderlab may create sensitive overload for some children and may not be appropriate.

Some exhibits too advanced for KS1 students however there was enough for them to experience considering the amount of time we spent at the museum. Many 'hands-on' activities need to be booked very far in advance

The garden lunch area was extremely noisy and busy with other schools and we had to remove the children from the area to be able to talk to them. The journey by coach was a great decision given that there were severe delays on the district and picadilly lines. The film was a good idea and broke up a day of exploring around the museum.

The Wonderlab was a great space where the children could independently explore and learn through their own experiences.
