Been before and it wasn't a big hit but this time it was a huge hit, they have a games exhibition there and the science lab which the kids loved. Money well spent!

Been once before and kids loved it, second time they barely glanced at most of the exhibits as they were exactly the same. So the £30 family ticket wasnt worth the money
