“Great for yound and old”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed December 28, 2012

Lots here for children to see and do. It's a hands on museum and the planetarium and lightening rooms are a must. Adults will love this place too as it'll awaken the child within.

“Great day out for the kids!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed December 19, 2012

Take the kids on the ferry to scienceworks for a great day out. Lots of interactive exhibits, and the journey across the water is a bonus attraction. It can also be accessed by car, or by train to Newport station.

Whoever dreamed up the idea of Scienceworks Museum needs a big pat on the back. It is amazing and always changing.

“Suitable for all ages”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed December 18, 2012

It is always very busy, particularly during school holidays. You are requested to book in advance for any special lectures or video.

I was a little disappointed that staff did not better control access to all of the devices. Certain devices were monoplogised by older children, even teenagers.

“Great exhibitions”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed December 15, 2012

Well worth a visit, especially when speacial exhibitions are on. Plenty of parking. Best to take your own food and sit outside as the cafeteria does not serve too may healthy food options.
