Where can you entertain people of any age with exhibitions, events, films, food and shops - all under one roof, for anything from an hour to a day?

At the Science Museum you can do all this and much more.

See iconic objects from Stephenson's Rocket to the Apollo 10 command module, catch a 3D IMAX movie, take a ride on our simulators, visit an exhibition, and encounter the past, present and future of technology in seven floors of free galleries, including the Museum's famous hands-on galleries where children can have fun investigating science with our dedicated Explainer.

Whatever you do you won't be stuck for things to do at the Science Museum!
