Review
Hands-on science done properly. Wonderlab (paid) is worth it on a first visit; the free galleries hold their own for space-obsessed kids. A gold-standard indoor day, especially paired with the Natural History Museum.
Our recommendation. Pre-book Wonderlab. Eat before you arrive — the cafes queue hard at lunch.
