Yorkshire Wildlife Park in Doncaster is one of abso faves! They do alot of charitable work and are considered one of the gentler of Wildlife Parks because of all their conservation work. The last time we went we had a lovely view of their polar bear! ^Aziza #asechat
There's also the National Science and Media Museum in Bradford, a brilliant place that's also free (bonus)! They have the Science fsitval coming up which I can't wait to take my kids to. ^Aziza #asechat
When we're in London we also plan to visit @kewgardens. I have never been, husband not been for years and years. I am really looking forward to it. #asechat

Also we aren't too far from Magna which is just fab for everyone in the family, lots to do and explore. It's a science focused activity type centre. Worth checking out - most schools go there for a school trip at one point or another. ^Aziza #asechat
I think it's probably nerdy, but not very science-related.. but we're off to the highland and I want to visit Leakey's book shop in Inverness: https://t.co/ndnsVe38Sf If you haven't been to Birmingham Library then GO! #asechat
He was showing that contact will air was needed for it to go off. Urine added to flask, heated, sealed. And it is still pretty clear (if a rather dubious colour). #asechat
I enjoyed visiting the Savannah Science Museum. They have exhibits and hands-on activities. There is also a planetarium located at the museum, which was nice. #ASEChat#EDU3161
Equally nerdy if you have a passion for plants is Cambridge Botanical Gardens (next to @SAPS_News ) to see the actual plants that feature in so many historical accounts #ASEChat
Weve also been to the Museum of Science and Industry in Manchester. They have a lot of workshops over the holidays so you need a good part of the day to get around to everything. #asechat
Llanberis, North Wales. Pumped storage system with brilliant underground tour. Everyone comes away with a much better understanding the UK electricity system #asechat
Birmingham Think Tank is wonderful especially in summer for including the science garden. @thinktankmuseum#asechat Also Leicester National Space centre.

It was some time ago when I visited last. The ground heat exchange system has never worked at the National STEM Centre though, so possibly not #ASEChat
I hope someone has mentioned #youktu as something they are doing this summer? I want to see if I can find time to see @KDWScience - that counts as science right? #asechat
We also recently visited the National Coal Mining Museum and was fascinating. You can travel down in to an actual mine pit for a detailed talk. Our guide was one of the final remaining original miners (he was very old), he was truly fascinating! #asechat
Say it louder Helen. Everyone here will be very welcome at York Tewwtup 20 Aug. Contact @MaryUYSEG as I do not have Eventbrite link to hand. The best single day science teacher holiday trip in UK bar none! #ASEChat
I went to see this on my own - sad geek that I am (and I loved it too!) I've got a couple of video clips but they don't compare to seeing the size of the place in person!

@physicsgirluk, @ViciaScience, @ElectricMount
Or another mining suggestion is Northern Swaledale around Muker to see the devastation caused by mineral mining in the past. Adds real interest to some high level moorland walking, then compare with farming impact in the valleys on way back #asechat
Not sure how old you are... but he was retiring this year although stated he didn't want to as he enjoyed his job so much. Think he said he was close to 70? #asechat
