Sciece Museum

The Science Museum is definitely a fun place for kids and adults. There around seven floors ranging from outer space, modern devises, to medical practices in the olden days and how they are used now. There are inventions such as airplanes, space ships, an old MRI machine, to the first dentist chair. There is one room that is hands-on and fun for all ages. The I-Max is on the bottom floor and plays around six different shows. There are two virtual rides one is as if you were taking off from earth, landing on the moon, then returning. The second one is a roller coaster in space which was more fun I think. The museum is filled with interactive things which makes the experience more enjoyable for young children and still interesting enough so that the parents enjoy themselves also.

The second floor has model ships of famous voyages. Then they show a picture of what the original ships used to look like. Against the wall they show different boats from around the world and what they would have looked like and how they look today. Also the second floor shows scuba gear that was used a long time ago and what we use today. This is a great way to see the changes over time and how our inventions have been modified.

The third floor is full of model airplanes. One was from 1912 and they have others from further back then that. They also show the cut out of a plane we would fly on today, this one was a British Airways two level plane.

The last floor I am going to explain is the fourth floor which is all hands-on. They have three rooms full of gadgets for kids and adults to enjoy. There are a range of things from balancing blocks at an angle, which is more for the adults, to a simple rope that you can pull which shoots a ball up into the air and then down into a net where the ball goes back to be shot again, this is more for the children.

I can not explain all the rooms or this post would be very long. So if you want to find out more I suggest you go see all the museums wonderful things.
