Pros

  • Science Museum is my favourite
  • As others have mentioned, the Children’s Museum and Science Museum (both in downtown STP) are great! I recently visited both with my nephews (6 and 8) and they had a blast at both.
  • One houses the Science Museum which has a lot of interactive exhibits and it is a place to go.
  • However there is a nice Children's museum there and a great science museum which would be enjoyable for sure.
  • The science museum has “the garden” in the basement which is perfect for thier ages and you can walk from Chelsea.

Cons

  • the Science Museum in South Kensington is the obvious one and it's free. Last time I went, with children, it seemed to have a lot of cafes and shops and less space given to the exhibits
  • Other than that the museums in London are great (just very sad they now have put a lot of the science museum behind a paywall)
  • The Science Museum (free) is there too - the bits on the Industrial Revolution are less childish than some other parts.

Science Museum was the clear kid winner of the trip — interactive, not too crowded, and they could actually touch things. **Make sure you book the Planet show** in advance; it was a highlight.
