    Excellent cafe. Good coffee and food. Much cheaper than central London. Have a look at the free exhibition. It's an eye opener!!

    Don't miss the projection room upstairs. You can get some cool photos on a quiet day

    Cafe is nice, and reasonably priced for the area being a exhibition centre. Outside this time of year can be a little grey and run down. Better in the summer.

    Don't miss the green LED cube. It displays 3D representations of what's been talked about in the accompanying soundtrack

    Get off the DLR at Royal Victoria and walk towards the waterfront. Nice and interesting setup inside. Don't bother with cafe/restaurant if you are really hungry.

    More like walking through a Siemens advert than a science museum. A few interesting exhibits & fun games with the Tesla coil but disappointing overall. £8 entry is way too expensive for what's there.

    An amazing interactive science museum. Discounts for OAPs

    Check out the massive Tesla Coil on the ground level - it fires every 15mins

    The klaxon that sounds when the Tesla coil fires can be very loud

    Visited on a saturday lunchtime and the service in the cafe was terrible. Lots of waiting waiting and waiting while the kitchen staff seemed to be enjoying a chat. Wouldn't recommend the cafe at all.

    Был на выставке посвящённой городу будущего. Не плохая столовая.
