Top science centres for curious kids

Interactive science museums with hands-on exhibits.

Britain's science centres run hands-on exhibits, planetariums, live demos and (often) Saturday lectures. We've focused on those with genuine interactive depth — the Science Museum in London, At-Bristol/We The Curious, Glasgow Science Centre, Thinktank Birmingham, Catalyst (Widnes), and the National Space Centre in Leicester all have purpose-built buildings with multiple floors of interactives.
