Jun 14, 2023

  • Save big on paid exhibitions and experiences at the Science Museum by using TfL services 
  • Enjoy half price entries to the out-of-this-world exhibition, Science Fiction: Voyage to the Edge of Imagination 
  • Save up to £4 on annual access to Wonderlab, an interactive science playground, perfect for families

For the first time, Transport for London (TfL) is launching a new offer in partnership with the Science Museum to give its customers up to half price entry to the museum’s paid experiences.

Sci-fi fans can enjoy half price entry to Science Fiction: Voyage to the Edge of Imagination, an immersive and imaginative exhibition set on board an alien spaceship exploring sci-fi film, TV and books if they travel to the museum via TfL services. Available daily from 13 June, it is a great way to save £7.50 per person while making the most of activities at the Science Museum with the family. This limited-time epic adventure through the cosmos will close on 20 August. Customers can use nearby South Kensington Tube station and buses to reach the Science Museum which is within walking distance.

With TfL, the price of an annual pass to Wonderlab: The Equinor Gallery, an interactive science experience, is now just £12.75 for adults, saving 25 per cent or £4.25 off its full price. There are seven different zones to experience, with visitors able to see lightning strike, play with forces on a giant slide and meet the science Explainers for live demonstrations. The offer is available daily from 13 June until 20 October, including during school holidays and bank holidays, making it the perfect destination for children’s learning activities. Tickets should be booked in advance to avoid disappointment. Entry to the Science Museum is free, with many galleries and exhibitions to explore. 

Those wanting to add a 3D viewing and learning experience about space can visit IMAX: The Ronson Theatre at the Science Museum for an immersive big screen cinema experience and get 20 per cent off under the same TfL offer. It is available for everyone to book from 13 June to 20 October, excluding weekends and school holidays from 24 July to 1 September.

Emma Strain, TfL’s Customer Director, said: “With the world-famous Science Museum being one of the city’s most popular locations for a day out, we are excited to announce these fantastic deals that children and grown-ups alike can enjoy. These deals are a great way for everyone to make the most of their spending while enjoying a fun day out, exploring and learning more about the world beyond ours.”

Andrew Bailey, Science Museum’s Head of Operations, said: "We have such an exciting offer for visitors this summer and, with this partnership with TfL, we look forward to welcoming visitors from all over the capital and beyond to experience the wonder of science and innovation. Whether you love exploring how things work and watching astonishing experiments in Wonderlab, immersing yourself in the big screen in the comfort of our IMAX before or after exploring our galleries or the out-of-this-world Science Fiction exhibition, there truly is something for everyone.”

Deputy Mayor for Culture and the Creative Industries, Justine Simons OBE, said: “The summer holidays are fast approaching and this great half price offer will help more families make the most of London's world-leading museums and exhibitions. From alien spaceships to 3D journeys into space, it’s a great day out for all the family. I’m thrilled that TfL and the Science Museum are joining forces on this great offer as we continue working together to build a better and fairer London for everyone.”

To access the offer, customers are advised to pre-book online using special codes on the Science Museum website. The offers are available to full fare paying customers on TfL services except for Santander Cycles. To qualify for the offer, one person from each party must show proof of travel via the TfL Oyster and Contactless app on the same day as the visit, which must be downloaded and logged into in advance.

TfL and the Science Museum partnership - Using public transport

Up to four children aged under 11 years old travel free with a fare-paying adult on TfL’s network. Children aged 17 and under can also get free or discounted travel with a Zip Oyster photocard. Customers benefit from TfL’s most affordable fares by travelling off-peak and using pay as you go on contactless or Oyster. With the daily and weekly capping, customers never pay more than an equivalent Travelcard for their travel to, from or within Zones 1-6. All bus and tram passengers also benefit from the Mayor's Hopper fare, which allows unlimited journeys for the price of one when carried out within an hour of first touching in.

TfL and the Science Museum partnership - Travelling on the Elizabeth line

TfL's partnership with some of London's most beloved attractions, as part of the Mayor's Let's Do London campaign, aims to make public transport more appealing and inspire Londoners to enjoy more of the city's cultural gems and unique attractions. The Mayor launched his Let's Do London campaign in 2021 to support the capital's tourism industry after the devastating impact of the pandemic and travel restrictions saw the number of overnight stays in the capital more than halve.
