Discovery Museum (Newcastle)

...certainly the case with the Discovery Museum in Newcastle-Upon-Tyne. We live around 16 miles from this fine museum, which I was astonished to find had first opened in 1995 - then undergoing a staggering £12.25 million overhaul in 2002 and reopening it's doors to us all again in February 2003 ... a year ago exactly. We had a week off work Brian and I, and were surfing the net looking for places of interest to visit. When this appeared in a search ...

Review of Discovery Museum (Newcastle)

Discovery museum One of the great things about this museum, is that entrance is free. None of this paying a fortune when you step inside, only to find that it may not quite live up to your expectations. Being a free attraction, I have visited it on several occasions, usually taking school parties. Address and contact information: Blandford square, Newcastle upon Tyne. NE1 4JA Tel: 0191 232 6789 www.twmuseums.org.uk Getting there… The museum ...
...the visitor enters Newcastle, right on the North side of the bridge, on Blandford Square. There is pay and display parking available, but this is on road and very limited. So, it goes without saying, that public transport is the best way to get here. It is only a very short walk of about 5 minutes from the central Station, which is easily accesses via train, bus and Metro. The Entrance… Entrance is via the main gate, and the area is level, so ...

...free to visit and the Discovery museum in Newcastle is one of the best I have found. How to get there. ********************* The discovery museum is situated in Blandford Square a 5-minute walk from Newcastle central station. There are also buses from many areas that stop outside the station. From the station the museum is well sign posted. If you want to drive then the museum is just off the A 6082.

Review of Discovery Museum (Newcastle)

The Discovery Museum in Newcastle is a must!! I recently returned home to Newcastle for a few days with my family, whom have only ever been to Newcastle twice before our recent visit. The kids have become great fans of Newcastle and everything connected to it, but didn't register a great deal of enthusiasm when I suggested we could visit the museum - typical kids though! However, on arrival, they soon began to change their minds about the idea ...
...this option haha. The Discovery Museum is everything your traditional museum isn't - housed in a state of the art building (even the toilet doors and sinks are automatic!), with lifts and wheelchair lifts ideally situated, its noisy, its bright, and its full of kids having fun and learning at the same time - A brilliant day out, highly recommended. ...
