Have you ever felt the breath of a dinosaur on your neck or been to an atomic disco? For all things weird, wonderful and downright amazing, The Science Museum in London is a brilliant mish-mash of brain-bending displays and interactive science fun. There’s nothing better than breaking up the day than by sitting back to a mind-blowing IMAX film in the museum’s own 3D cinema. From magnificent sea monsters and dinosaurs, to Egyptian wonders and breathtaking space voyages, imaginations will run wild. And the best bit? Entry to the museum is totally free, although there are charges for the IMAX 3D Cinema, simulators and some special exhibitions.
