Well signposted from M1. Nice to have demos of how a comet is created etc as live science experiments as you wait in the queue - for over two hours!!? I found this to be very poor value for money and more expensive than advertised on webpage despite checking that morning before travelling. On arrival it was 75 pence more plus then hidden costs such as up to £3 per person to watch shows. Also went specifically for a Lego play which was on the website with no age restrictions mentioned but on arrival we were told it was £3 extra and an adult had to be with them and had to pay as well and it was for the over 7yrs only. Our 5yr old was distraught! I felt the exhibitions were not good for the under 11 yrs. I thought the film was good but not worth the money. I found the lay out was bad with toilet signs leading you round in circles until you ended up going out the exit and having to swipe back in. We will never return and were very disappointed having looked forward to it for a family day out for a long time. Spent most of the day queuing which we dont mind but it thought it wasn't worth seeing in the end after the long queues. Spent £35 for a family of three - two adults and a child, taking our own food and spent three and a half hours of our five hour visit queuing and having to clock watch so we didnt miss the one show that was uncluded in the ticket price (as of thursday 19/2/09).
