London's sprawling Science Museum is kid-friendly all over, but children will especially love the huge interactive Launch Pad area, a small part of which is shown above.
The "Hands-on" concept here screeches to a whole new level: kids have a blast; and grandparents should bring ear-plugs.
You can tour many Science Museum exhibits online, find out what's playing at the IMAX theatres, and check out visitor information....
Speaking of which: the price for entrance is the same for adults and kids: it's FREE! As are several other of London's top museums, including the Natural History Museum, just around the corner from the Science Museum.
And that money you saved on admission-- don't be surprised if your kids suggest you spend it in the gift shop, which is giant and full of neat science-related stuff.
