Phill Poland

We spent the whole day here, 10am-4pm, we did a few rooms twice and did 2 workshops. Not much to get around and it would be easy to rush around it all so we tried to slow the kids down and make them take their time! The quality of the exhibits however was fantastic, very interactive and fun and the kids (aged 3 and 8) loved it all. The museum upstairs was interesting and very well designed. The cafe was very reasonably priced and had options that suited all of us. Great day - we will be back to make use of the annual pass and I imagine the kids will love it just as much next time.

Lots of spaces, not too claustrophobic either. Quick to get out after a gig at AO Arena with help from staff at the car park helping at the barriers. Mind the bus lane in front when you travel there, our satnav took us right through it and it was quite easy to miss especially at night. Evening rate starts at 6pm so set arrival time to this or later for the evening rate. The difference changing arrival time from 5.30pm to 6pm was crazy.
