London's Museums: the Science Museum

I am not a geeky person and at school,
my grades in science left a lot to be desired. 

So, when Mr K (the family's geek) 

suggested going to the Science Museum, 

I contemplated with dread a day full of boring stuff. 

I couldn't be more wrong. 

Science Everywhere

The Science Museum is the place
to see and celebrate human ingenuity in all its forms. 

From Stone Age hand tools to real spacecrafts,  

and Foucault's pendulum to Pasteur's silkworms, 

you won't know where to turn your head first.

We really enjoyed the Flight gallery,
with the hot air balloons & WWI aeroplanes,
and the Making the World Modern gallery
with the gorgeous vintage cars & steam engines. 

Mini Scientists 

The Science Museum is super child friendly  

with specially designed zones for children of all ages.

The Launchpad, with its 50 interactive exhibits & live shows, 

introduces to kids the world of physics.

The Pattern Pod encourages the little ones 

to touch, play, experiment 

and get familiar with the world around them. 

In the Garden, under 5s can explore 

floating, shadows, reflections & music.
