About

Stephenson's Rocket and an original Apollo 10 capsule share floor space with hands on exhibits that keep children occupied for hours, which is very much the point. The Wonderlab gallery charges a small ticketed fee for live demonstrations, but the permanent collection covering flight, medicine and computing costs nothing to walk through. It sits directly across the road from the Natural History Museum, so pairing both in one day is an easy walk.
