Easy to get to off the M1, free car parking and loads of spaces. The structure is of industrial proportions. Walking inside you have to step back to appreciate how big and industrial the place is. Lovely how they have a history section and objects you can touch. It is dark inside, however the place has random illuminating lights and plenty of search lights young and old can play with to explore the old steel factory. The place is clearly posted to different levels of activity - Air, Earth, Fire and Water. We watched the Big Melt show that's on the hour. Brilliant effects with flames and fireworks creating the blast furnace in action! Each zone has loads of activities, and interaction. The water zone was my kids fave! The canal, shower, tidal wave and water gun target shooting was fun! Very relaxing, not tripping over folk, kids played and learned alot, you can bring your own picnic and eat indoors - huge area of seating dominated by a vast multi coloured wall of bricks. I wish I knew this place existed before! Paid once and got annual entry which includes use of the large outdoor play area. Down the road there's the Riverside Pub, perfect for feeding the crew on way home too ha! Clean, friendly, and will look into the events they hold, kids are into science and experimenting, thank you, superb day out and opportunity to visit again!

Visited on a rainy, cold Sunday afternoon, was not expecting it to be even colder in there - something to keep in mind if visiting with kids. Despite the cold, we have thoroughly enjoyed our visit. The interactive things were really interesting and awesome. My daughter (5 years old) loved it and kept her occupied for a while. It was really interesting to see all different elements on different floors and different activities. (Fire floor is loud and scared the little ones a bit tho). We've spent over 2 hours and didn't even check all the interactive things since my daughter wasn't interested in some of them. The café was lovely, nice atmosphere, lovely staff and variety of food and drinks. As well as a gift shop with science related books and activities to take home. Overall, we have enjoyed our stay and would definitely recommend it to anyone. Great day spent learning in a fun way. We will definitely return, probably in summertime as they also have a massive water play area outside which looked really fun!

Fantastic day out with my 5 year old, 4 different zones to be explored which have been developed in different areas of the massive old steelworks. Lots of hands on activities and an incredible building, staff were really friendly and helpful. Take a coat/warm things, and a towel as the inside water play area is brilliant.

Absolutely brilliant place if a little basic, some of the exhibits don’t work, but it’s an under funded charity in the north, and it’s doing its best. Staff are really helpful, cafe is good if not a bit basic, but it’s a cheap, fun and educational day out in a fabulous behemoth structure, which was once a shining jewel in the insustrial crown of Great Britain. Well worth a visit!

What an amazing day. We thoroughly enjoyed our visit. We were there nearly 4hours. All the staff were friendly. The forge experience was brilliant and we were given a metal swan. Every exhibit was interactive and wowed us. Overall a fantastic day
