It's a pretty good afternoon with the kids, my littlen loved the interactive bits. It's a bit expensive for a one day pass compared to getting a year, probably as an insensitive to get buy the year. Saying that if like me you'll probably want to go back with the kids. I don't know how often they do it but we also had a fantastic chemistry display outside with one of the staff making Elephants Toothpaste, it was really fun the kids all loved it

Visited the museum with my grandson and great nephew, both aged 10. They loved the interactive science experiments. The top floor conservatory has fantastic views, two being both the Mersey Bridges. There was seating available for you to enjoy your picnic lunches or an on site cafe with a snack menu. There is a gift shop with plenty of items available for under £5. Staff were all lovely and helpful. Outside there are lots of play equipment to keep children with, plenty of energy, entertained. We had a thorougly great day.

OMG what a great place. The ground floor is so interactive kept the children amused for hours. The workshop was decent for the price paid and the park outside is fantastic also. Overall a top place to take the kids. Mine being 9,6&4
