How To Get There

Directions

MOSI is very easy to find. It is very well signposted from all the major routes into the city. The attraction is located on Liverpool Road just minutes away from the city centre. Just follow the brown tourist signs from any of the motorways. The car park entrance is located on the Water Street side of the attraction.

Tips

Great day out, loads to do & keep the kids busy.

Lovely day for the whole family! Took our 8 year old, 6 year old and my 3 year old niece. From the warm greeting when we walked through the doors, to the minute we had to leave as the kids were so worn out, we had a fabulous time. My eldest especially loved the robot drawing machine he was able to invent and everyone (even the grown ups) loved the experiment floor! Can't believe it is free, will have to go back again soon :)
