Many of the exhibits are hands-on and the excellent 450-seat Planetarium has regular showings throughout the day. Every weekend and on public holidays at 10am & 2.30pm there are special shows for children with stunning visual effects.

The extensive model railways on the third floor in the transport section (one of the largest in the country) and the children's play area on the ninth floor are particularly popular with kids.
