Cambridge Science Centre

The science centre is small but it was perfect for a trip to Cambridge with my 3 year old! He had so much fun! We were pleasantly surprised there was a small car park as well.

Lovely small site with about 5 free car parking spaces outside. If you do not get one of the free spaces there is pay and display metres on the surrounding roads.
We went bowling beforehand and parked at the multi-storey. Parking there is discounted if your card is validated at one of those venues.
We then took a short work to the Science Museum.
We went with our children both ages under 10 and they both enjoyed it. We spent around 4 hours on there which was enough to fully enjoy all activities on site.
The staff were friendly and passionate and they do interactive talks every few hours on interesting subjects - all the children enjoyed and were very engaged.
The only thing that would have been great is if they sold soft and hot drinks and perhaps some snacks 👌

Children loved their visit to the Cambridge Science Centre. A small place so they didn't find it overwhelming or tiring. It contained lots of science discoveries that allowed children to try out for themselves. Helpful information boards and guided activities too.

Went to the pop-up in the Grand Arcade today. A great selection of hands-on learning scenarios. 5.5 year old son was engrossed in building DNA, piecing together organs in human torso model and other really cool stuff. Staff were friendly and informative. Superb educational resource.

Knowledgeable children's lecturers. And activities for just a small fee are worth while. We played with DNA patterns and extracted the DNA of a strawberry! The space itself is just a warehouse and the permanent exhibitions are slim.

Very expensive for what they offer, simple dog info, children rewarded with loads of sweets, some gadgets to play around and experiment, smell test all done in about 1 hour....not worth it in my opinion, but our 4,6,8years childrens seems reasonably entertained

Great place to spend a few hours with kids. I thought it would take an hour or so but my kids didn't want to leave and we stayed well over 3 hours. We went with a 7 and an 11 year old and there was plenty to keep them both occupied. The staff were amazing, very knowledgeable and helpful.

Very friendly and knowledgeable staff. Great demonstration/lesson on how astronauts are sent into space and safely returned to Earth. The wind tunnel was great fun and a good challenge too. Our 6 yo learnt alot. Very affordable, £9 for the day ( you can go out and come back) for a family of 3.
