Not many hands on stuff to do, unless you purchase extra tickets for different exhibitions.

Definitely worth a visit at least once! The museum has so many fascinating exhibits, so plan to spend plenty of time if you want to see everything. It’s a great place to learn about science—whether it’s how the human body works or the history of the steam train. Kids can explore, play, and learn in a very hands-on way, which makes it even more engaging. Not to mention that all staff was cool and friendly. There are dining areas and some lovely gift shops to enjoy as well. Tickets can be purchased online in advance, or directly at the entrance on the day of your visit.
