Parking was so easy to find; we weren't waiting to get in (there may be lines, but we didn't hit one). We received an annual pass (amazing). We went through the whole place; the kids loved it. There's loads to do inside and then a massive dining hall at the end where you can have food they make to order or eat packed lunches. Outside has a splash park, and the park is huge! The kids were very excited to go into it. We had two 6-year-olds, a 10-year-old, and a 12-year-old, and no one said, "Oh, I'm bored," haha. As a parent, you know how hard it is to keep children entertained. We will definitely be back! · via Google [Paul Varty](https://www.google.com/maps/contrib/102466090004686479652/reviews) ★★★★★ ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ We had a fantastic day out at Magna Science Adventure Centre and would highly recommend it to families. We chose to add Gift Aid to our tickets, which means we can return as many times as we like for a whole year, making it excellent value for money. The highlights for us were the Big Melt, which was an impressive spectacle, the fire tornado and wind tornado demonstrations, and the working JCB bucket arms that visitors can operate themselves. The hands-on exhibits really help bring science and engineering to life and kept both children and adults engaged. The centre does a great job of combining education with fun, and the industrial setting gives it a unique atmosphere. There is easily enough to fill a full day, and with the annual return option we'll definitely be back again. A brilliant family attraction that's well worth a visit. 🚜🔥🌪️🔬 · via Google [james brook](https://www.google.com/maps/contrib/115349812409476323149/reviews) ★★★★★ We visited Magna for the first time with our daughter and found it such an enjoyable experience for all the family. Each zone provides fun learning and hands on experience. The staff are super friendly and passionate about what they do. The outside play area is also fantastic and look forward to returning in the spring to enjoy it more. · via Google [LW Drone Flyer](https://www.google.com/maps/contrib/118318045369178745528/reviews) ★★★★★ Great day out, good for the kids to learn some of the fundamentals of the the main elements of earth, air, fire and water. Set inside an very interesting building thats fascinating to see on its own. Big outdoor play area too, good to see they had three lifts and not just one for getting between the different floors. Good value as standard price is for an annual pass. · via Google [See all reviews on Google →](https://www.google.com/maps/place//data=!4m4!3m3!1s0x487977a5971b2d6f:0xff41c8c845ce17aa!9m1!1b1?g_mp=Cidnb29nbGUubWFwcy5wbGFjZXMudjEuUGxhY2VzLlNlYXJjaFRleHQQAhgEIAA) Visitors say this science adventure center offers engaging, interactive exhibits across four themed zones and features a massive outdoor playground with a splash park.
