Took my children 9 and 5 for a day out, both loved it. Great day out and interactive (which my 5 year old loved!). The science garden was great fun as well. We all loved the planetarium show. Overall fantastic day out and not overly expensive. We will be going back but will take a picnic as the food on offer was limited and not of a great quality.

Amazing day out, found it worth the money and you do need a full day. If returning I would probably take a picnic as food on offer was limited after 1pm. But other than that we all enjoyed our day and ran out of time!
