Science Museum – IMAX

Robots, space suits, steam turbines and early computers are just some of the marvels on display in this extraordinary museum of human achievement and ingenuity.

Visit the Energy Zone to see huge steam engines, including the oldest surviving James Watt beam engine, Old Bess, which dates to the 18th Century. The Apollo 10 lunar command module, the very first Apple computer and Crick and Watson’s DNA double helix are among the highlights in the Making the Modern World gallery, while the Flight zone features a cross-section of a Boeing 747 and pioneering aviator Amy Johnson's Gipsy Moth, the plane in which she became the first woman to fly solo from England to Australia in 1930.

It’s easy to see why the Science Museum is one of London’s top attractions. There are dozens more things to see and do here across several different zones, including stacks of interactive areas. 

Wonderlab has over 50 exhibits that explore the incredible in the everyday.
