Discovery is one of the North East‘s most popular free museums and the place to find out about life on Tyneside.
From the area‘s renowned maritime history to world-changing science and technology it has something for everyone. The gem of the collection is Turbinia, the world’s first boat to be powered by a steam turbine engine. The museum is bursting with hands-on interactives, which makes it the perfect place to learn through play.
Open: Mon-Sat 10am- 5pm; Sun 2pm-5pm. FREE
Discovery Museum is a short walk from Newcastle Central Station which is serviced by the Metro and is a national mainline station.
A small pay and display car park is available outside of the museum, however this gets very busy during museum opening hours. Alternative car parking can be found at the Grainger Town Car Park which is off Waterloo Street beside Dance City.
