SCIENCE MUSEUM SUMMER EXHIBITION
This summer bring your children to the Science Museum! They're welcome any time of the year but this summer we're offering them something very special. We're holding an extraordinary exhibition aimed particularly at the under-fourteens. It will be packed full of incredible things which will surprise, amaze and entertain young minds. Older minds will find a lot to occupy them too!
Just one of the many treats in store will be the Robot Hall. Here you'll find the very latest in robotic designs, ranging from the tiny to the enormous. Kids can programme a robot to perform different functions and compete with other robots doing the same task.
Another amazing feature of this exhibition is a link-up to a real space shuttle. On certain days children will be able to talk directly to an astronaut in space. What a conversation that could be! In addition to this both parents and children will be able to experience weightlessness in our special gravity-free room and see what it really feels like to be an astronaut!
These are only a couple of the attractions and there will be much, much more! So come along with your children to the Science Museum Summer Exhibition!
