    It's short, maybe 1 hour, but a really excellent place for those interested in the origins of modern scientific analysis techniques. Michael Faraday's work is here, among other major scientists. They also apparently do special lectures for children around the holiday season. Do not that they're generally closed on weekends.

    If you're keen on science, you'll love the exhibitions here. As a pharmacist, I found many captivating displays, like vintage slides and old microscopes. Best of all, entry is free, and there's a café inside.
