What to see at the Wonderlab at the Science Museum

We are huge fan of the Science Museum. We are a family with young children always looking for activities to let energy spread. It is known that when children are being interactive that they are learning. The Wonderlabย at the Science Museum is like a large scientific playground, where kids can play and learn at the same time.

Wonderlab Science Museum: where you can really touch the science

What to see at eh Wonderlab at the Science Museum

The main Hall of the Science Museum

 

Open in October 2016 and located at the third floor of the Science Museum, Wonderlab is the newย Statoil gallery for children, rich of try-it-yourself science experiences. Consider to spend here at least half of the day, but if it’s your first time at the Science Museum (you can read more about it in this post), so consider a whole day for both.

There are seven zones at the ‘lab’, for each physical phenomenon of Nature:ย  Matter, Sound, Maths, Electricity, Forces, Light and Space.

There are many live experiments during the day at the chemistry bar. We really enjoyed the nitrogen one!

There is also an area with tables and wood blocks for a quieter moment.

There are from theremin bollards to metal prongs, but the highlight for a four-year-old visitor is the giant friction slides!

We haven’t been to London for at least a couple of years now. I think it’s about time we scheduled a visit and the Science museum on our list! We’ve been before but it would be nice to go again.

We love visiting the Science museum and my kids spend so much time with all the interactive activities. I kinda like how some complex topics are explained to children.

That looks absolutely brilliant. The Science Museum was a huge favourite with my older two before we moved abroad. Now we are back for a while, I have been meaning to take my youngest. Thanks so much for joining in with #CulturedKids

We love Wonderlab, we’ve taken kids between the ages of 3 and 15 and they’ve all really enjoyed it! Their family membership is quite reasonable too, if you’re going to visit more than once a year or so #culturedkids

I’d add The Museum of London; I visited it last October, it was full of kids and it seemed to me that they had a lot of fun!

From the pictures it seems to be very interesting for kids,, not all the science museums are interactive like this one, In your opinion wich is the minimum age for a visit? I’d like to go there with my 5 years old girl, when I will go again to London.
