Good to know about FutureEverything

FutureEverything is not a traditional museum, but it does feature regular visiting hours. Your best bet, however, is to visit the FutureEverything website to find out which upcoming exhibitions, features, performances and presentations they're hosting and book your ticket for a specific attraction. These are changing all the time, so keep checking in. 

If you have kids, it's also a good idea to check whether individual exhibits will be kid-friendly. Most will be fine for families, but it never hurts to check for adult content. FutureEverything makes every effort to be disability and wheelchair accessible.
