Apollo exhibition deserved better
We went to see the Apollo photograph exhibition The photographs were amazing BUT they had been put in the corner of what seemed to be a children s refectory where about 80 children under 8 yrs of age were having their packed lunch creating a horrendous noisy background to this exhibition The photographs were too close together and the explanation cards were so low adults had to bend down to read them The introduction to the exhibition was next to the last photo This collection deserved better An disappointing and expensive visit When we complained to a member of staff on the entrance she just agreed with us

I can t understand how this place has
I can t understand how this place has been closed for so long for it to reopen and still have coming soon written on almost every floor Nothing has changed except for the entrance where they ve added seating a shop to buy overpriced toys and a Wallace and gromit feature on the wall which is the best thing about the place It s been reopened for one week some elevators weren t working and due to there being so much red tape and coming soon signage me and my kids were done within an hour absolute rubbish will not be returning even when you finally do open properly

Astronights Event
We recently visited for the Astronights experience with 2 classes of school children Positives- excellent workshops- IMAX 3D Space Film- Wonderlab- staff guides were friendlyNegatives- appalling organisation by the Science Museum- all groups left outside of the building queuing to get in on a busy London street in the dark for 30 minutes- no pedestrian crossing outside the museum and a very busy road so difficult to cross- a chaotic registration process with all groups trying to get their welcome pack and keep their children separate from other groups it was impossible and so stressful - the unnecessary need to take all food out of bags and hand it over This meant snack time took a long time to find everyone s snack out of the large blue sacks they had been stored in This meant snack time was a mad rush and they didn t get time to really eat anything - sleeping areas weren t allocated to each group so the first school to arrive spread out in the exhibit and didn t leave any room for any other group to set up together We had to ask them to move so we could have enough space to put our children in one area for safe supervision - activities end at 11pm then lights come on and alarm sounds at 6am Very little time to get the children settled for bed and try to get some sleep -mats were so thin adults couldn t sleep- lots of bright lights left on all night- powerful cold air vents so freezing- we were on the ground floor and after very little sleep had to climb 3 double flights of stairs with all our luggage just to store our bags in a different exhibit Then go back down to the same floor we had slept on to have breakfast The children were exhausted There was no need to take store our bags as the event ended before the museum opened They would have been safe where they were - breakfast was a snack at best A croissant snack bar and piece of fruit The children were asking for more and adults were starving - no water bottle top up point in the exhibit we were sleeping in so no access to drinking water over night - we had been told that we could visit the museum before the event and then stay until it began Just before 6pm we were told we would have to leave at 6pm and come back at 6 45pm We had no place to take the children safely during that time so had to get them back onto the coach and do an impromptu short tour of London How they could improve- allocate areas in the exhibit for each group to set up their beds in so that they have the appropriate amount of space - staggered arrival times so that groups can be brought into the safety of the museum quickly and processed- allow groups to keep their snacks with their beds so they can collect quickly at snacktime- provide enough food for breakfast- allow school groups to wait somewhere in the museum until the event begins- allow bags to be stored on the ground floor

Science Museum Cares Nothing for History
The Science Museum Director and Trustees who care nothing for the history of the galleries exhibits and building and who removed the lovely Shipping Gallery to replace it with the awful Telecoms one and are now planning on ripping out the Exploring Space gallery to do the same
