If your looking for something to do with the family I Highly recommend going to have a look at Newcastle museum . The staff welcomed us as soon as we walked through the doors . We went and seen an exhibit on bhp which was very informative and it runs every hour . Great place for the kids as there is a kids science area which is both fun and educational . It is also free !!

I decided to take my grandson to the museum for a day out. We were welcomed by a staff member as soon as we entered the museum. The staff member had explained where everything is and that the BHP Steelworks show was going to be on in 3 minutes. I found the museum to be quite boring but my grandson loved. It is more for the younger kids as it has a play area, kids science kits etc. I will definitely take all my other grandkids here.

Great place to bring the kids - both young and old. They have a great under 5's play area for the little ones, and lots of fun and educational hands on things for the older ones. They often have a live exhibit going on so its worth checking the website to see what times the shows are on. The sprout canteen cafe at the entrance is convenient, well prices and delicious food and coffee. Great for a mum's and bubs day out, or the whole family. I would probably avoid on a market day as it can be very busy then.
