Review: 'I'd say the museum was 100 per cent better than it was'

My FIRST impression walking into the museum was that it looked amazing.

The new museum is a big improvement on what was there before. There seems to be so much more space, and there are so many new and improved things for people to do now. I'd say it was 100 per cent better than it was.

Although I've been waiting for three years to come back, I think it's been well worth it. It's such a special place because of the history of the building and the fact that so many people obviously enjoy coming here, whether it's just to relax or for something to do on a rainy day.

It was just over-run with people on the first day, I was amazed at how many people were there this morning for the opening - it was very exciting.

My favourite new thing to see is the giant telescope, as I love looking at them, although the T-Rex was also very good. I was coming here at least twice a month before it closed and I'm sure I'll be doing the same again now.
