    I love this museum!! It has got absolutely everything and it's free of charge to get in but you have to pay a donation. It isn't far from the town centre it's a little walk and there is just everything to look at, my favourite part of museum is experiment which is upstairs and they have quite a lot of fun things like making sensory bubble tube, bouncing the balls and the percussion! Overall it's very atmospheric! I love the experience. I also liked the bit where you could create the sound effects on the DJ machine, thought it was all very cool!

    Amazing free museum showing the fascinating industrial history. So many historic items like the first modern computer. I really enjoyed the textiles section. The history of the cotton industry is very interesting and the parts about slavery was done well with respect The second floor is extremely interactive, fun for kids and adults. It's super accessible with lifts and audio transcripts Please donate if you can!

    My visit to the Science and Industry Museum left much to be desired, especially for my teenage son, who found nothing of interest there. The two floors of the building offered little of note, and the entire visit lasted only 25 minutes. It felt like a shadow of its former self from 15 years ago. Overall, I would not recommend it, particularly for families with older children looking for engaging attractions.
