Which British science museum or attraction is the absolute best day out?

Home to Stephenson's Rocket, the Apollo 10 capsule, and that hands-on Wonderlab kids refuse to leave. A rainy-day rescue mission for parents nationwide.

Dippy may have toured off, but Hope the whale now rules Hintze Hall. Dinosaurs, gemstones and that earthquake simulator everyone secretly loves.

A playground of interactive experiments where you can make a tornado, stare into a planetarium, and pretend it's all for the kids.

That giant rocket tower is visible for miles, and inside you'll find real spacecraft, a planetarium, and enough astronaut ice cream to regret later.

A UNESCO World Heritage Site where you can stand beneath one of the world's biggest radio telescopes and feel pleasingly tiny.
