Went along this weekend . . . felt ripped off!
Too many kids hogging the screens (even with regulated crowds), all squeezed into quite a tight space, rather poor collections of bits and pieces (one watch?! I love the watches!!)), golden gun was 're-designed', Silver DB5 mysteriously had a different licence plate etched on the windows . . souvenir shop "limited" . . shall I go on? . . . should be a special time for "adults" to visit . . come on kids - you'll feel the same way when you're our age.

Is this in the Science Museum? I'm sure I got into the Alfa exhibition free. Rich...

Yep. Maybe I'm just more critical in my twilight years . . .

Maybe you and me both. I went to the science museum a few weeks ago and was extremely disappointed. Maybe its cos I know a bit about science, but the information provided was out of date or wrong.

It seems like its aimed at kids, or people with absolutely no knowledge, not someone who wanted to increase his/her knowledge.

Many of the "interactive" bits were broken, and the dodgy guys taking your coats downstairs were creaming money off the top (couldn't be arse to say anything to the management).

There was an exhibition there at the time which you had to pay for. Not as good as Melbourne's Science Museum - a lot more fun.

Maybe I'm getting too picky, but if its billed as the best (well, greatest number of visitors), then I'd hate to see any of the others - although I do intend popping to the Natural History Museum one weekend
