Went to this museum, not sure what to expect.
It has a large collection, of exhibits, outside a tank guards it.
Inside this is a varied selection of artifacts relating to the areas past, and science based as well.
There were some school groups there visiting, and I could see why.
Plenty to keep kids occupied on a rainy day....

many of these centres are now standard and they are ok for kids who don't get out much but this one manages to excite from the moment one walks in, with the huge boat on the ground floor... there is an excellent section on the history of the region and I learned a lot. The coffee shop serves a decent...

I was just heading to the archive there for some materials when I thought why not have a look around the museum as well and it was a great experience. Basically the museum captures most of the interesting and important aspects of Newcastle's history and the display is well organised, easily accessible and interesting to both adults and children.

We popped in one wet Sunday and spent about an hour and a half. There's quite a lot to see but not much stood out for me. That said I did like Turbinia in the main hall.

This museum was recommended to us by our hotel. We were a family of 4. 2 children aged 7 and 9 and my cousin who is at uni in Newcastle.
We had a nice couple of hours at the museum with lots of fun activities to explore. I do think it is worth a visit but you only need a...

While searching for attractions stumbled across this place not holding out much hope for a free museum we took our chances and were throughly entertained by the interactive exhibits that were perfectly pitched for adults and children alike. Spent 2 hours here would happily of spent to enter as well.

Not the best good setup but not all clean. Plus some facts not true i mean. I would reccomend but only if you want to know about history with a very big twist
