Cambridge Science Centre — Attraction in Cambridge

We love the Science Centre and have been going regularly since it opened in its new location in July. It is an absolutely invaluable resource for keeping kids entertained during the school holidays and half-term when everything else is closed. The educators are so friendly and helpful and the shows highlighting different topics are top notch. All the interactive exhibits are pitched at different ages and all can have a go.

The staff were friendly and passionate and they do interactive talks every few hours on interesting subjects - all the children enjoyed and were very engaged. The only thing that would have been great is if they sold soft and hot drinks and perhaps...

Excellent way for kids to explore science in all it's forms. Best bit is definitely the live interactive demonstrations that occur about every half hour that vary between "built it" classes to hands on demonstrations how the intestines make poo. The volunteers genuinely love their work and make science real and fun. Fantastic that all the demo stations are well maintained and work all the time (I've been elsewhere and seen science demos with 90% broken sets - I'm looking at you Valencia city of science and arts) which gives it a really top of the class professional feel. My 4 year old loved it so it isn't just...
