Parent Review: Science Museum – The Garden

Free interactive gallery for 3-6 year olds in the basement of the Science Museum, with water play, light experiments, and building blocks.

We visited on a weekday morning and found it perfectly manageable with a double stroller. Here’s what stood out and what to watch for.
