Tickets are available for different entry times. My experience is the day
is never long enough, so one really wants to be there as early as possible.

There's tons of stuff on time-keeping there, and also some on voltage
measurements. I cc'ed to both time-nuts and volt-nuts, although I suspect
there's a fair number of people who are members of both groups.

My past experience is that NPL does a very good job of these open-days.
They manage to get plenty of things of interest to young children, yet
there's plenty of stuff to get PhDs scratching their heads.

To you guys in the USA or elsewhere, where places like NIST do not have
open-days, perhaps you can use the fact NPL does, to get your own national
metrology labs to have open-days.
