We had a lovely afternoon but so much more could be added to enhance the whole experience. All the science bits were hands on which was great, even the adults enjoyed it but you only need to be there…Full review by annettesY8016XT

IMO, very expensive for what is on offer. Having been spoilt by visiting the science museum in London, Winchester was a disappointment. However, with me were 3 children aged 15, 11 & 6 who enjoye…Full review by Angel69
I'm not sure youre able to do that since the show is part of the whole museum and is booked on time slots after you have booked a ticket for entering the museum.
How long do people spend here on average? We're thinking of taking our 2 and 5 year olds for the day
A:
I would think that you would spend at least three hours there with your children as there is a cafe there and some free shows at the centre. Parking is £2 for the whole day.
Can I just confirm that children and adults are the same price? It feels a bit steep for a 3 year old!
A:
If you purchase your ticket more than 3 days before you are due to visit the tickets are £9 excluding gift aid. Unfortunately only 0-2 fit into the other price bracket.
We’re going to book general admission tickets in advance online. Can we purchase tickets for the planetarium on the day (subject to availability) if we decide we’d like to see a show?
Depends on the two year old really. If they like pressing buttons and stuff there might be enough to keep them amused but it really is more suitable for nursery / early years and up.
