PIN Science Museum

Planes, Trains and Automobiles

For family-friendly entertainment the Science Museum will enrapture kids of all ages and the Interactive Garden area is specially designed for under fives, while the ‘get involved’ Launchpad gallery will entertain the most recalcitrant teenager. The museum hosts massive steam engines, space rockets, thermal cameras, mechanical computers or curiosities such as a rolling-ball clock or the first automatic tea-making machine. It also also has many hands-on experiences; you can try one of the oldest computer games, experiment with light or take control of a real flight simulator.

Galleries

At the centre of any visit should be the “Making the Modern World” and “Exploring Space” galleries. These house all the most amazing items, from moon landers to some of the first computers. Planes and rockets hang overhead while Victorian steam engines sit next to supersonic speed boats on the ground.
