Star Trek at 60: the Science Museum trail before 13 September
Archived September programme: the time-limited daytime trail ended on 13 September 2026. This is not a current visit recommendation.
Archived programme, not available now
The recorded September programme advertised the Star Trek Warp Trail until 13 September 2026, with free daytime access and separately paid screenings.
On 15 October the former event page returned 404, so the link now goes to current museum visitor information. That replacement page does not verify or extend the past trail; use it only to plan a different current visit.
- Trail ended
- 13 September 2026

A family route, not an evening assumption
Build a daytime visit around the trail and leave time for children to choose a second gallery.
The trail cannot be visited before or after evening film screenings. Star Trek Lates is listed for 8 September, but its separate admission conditions must be checked; it should not automatically be treated as a children’s event.
Give the visit a question
Ask which inventions belong to science fiction and which resemble technologies in everyday life.
Older children can compare imagined transport or communication with what they see elsewhere in the museum. You do not need to know every television episode to make the conversation interesting.
After the programme ends
This guide records a September 2026 programme.
After 13 September, use the museum’s current listings rather than travelling for this trail. The permanent collection can still anchor a South Kensington day, but it is not a substitute ticket or an extension of the anniversary event.
