Lots of great exhibitions that relate to the curriculum.

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.

The children enjoyed moving around the museum and seeing the different galleries available. A particular highlight was the show and sharing their ideas with the Science Museum explainer. I would definitely visit the Science Museum with other year groups as there's so much to see and do.

What an awesome museum it was and the children were so excited to see so many brilliant inventions and learn more about them and how they have changed through history. Some if the sections / departments seem to have been revamped and were brilliant for the children to clearly see the display cabinets and access the hands on exhibits. The children loved the medicine section the most it seemed, but were also wowed by the Space exhibition. Can't wait to go again.

The whol school had a great day. The only issue was that for Year 2, there was only one workshop that they could attend, Reception and Year 1 could visit the garden and pattern pod.
