Review

- Decent experience but not what it says on the tin
- If you come expecting a museum of emerging science and technology, you might be a tad disappointed. This really is more of a set of more or less sophisticated art pieces and exhibits showcasing...
-
- Well worth a visit and thought provoking
- A visit to this museum is a really great activity for young and old. The museum makes you think and reflect on science and every day life in a very interactive way. We spent a full afternoon...

- Kills an hour
- Worth wandering round for an hour (or two). Some of the exhibits are cool. I like the radiation tank. Cafe on top floor has good views.
