📍Discovery Museum, NE1 4AJ
It’s been about 9 years since my last visit to and whilst it is a little tired compared to some of the other Museums the Toon has to offer, it’s definitely still a good FREE local day out, especially if you’ve got kids or grown ups into STEM, vehicles, space or Newcastle history. There’s lots to look around and many of the exhibits are hands on and interactive, we were definitely surprised at how much was accessible to our littlest explorer.
Personally, it probably works best as a local/community museum rather than somewhere I’d hugely travel for because I still think the and have the edge for us but that said, places like this absolutely deserve support and donations if you’re able to. Also if you’re wondering why I have hardly any photos… there were THREE school trips in at the same time 😂 which probably tells you everything about how popular it is with local schools and why it’s worth donating 🤍
