Cardiff, Techniquest Science Discovery Centre

Found this little gem of a venue, when looking on the internet whilst planning activities for our short holiday in Cardiff.

I was more than happy with the day out - there were a huge variety of different interactive exhibtions which you could try your hand at, and both myself, my partner and my daughter all really enjoyed trying them out.

Split on 2 levels, the bottom being focussed more on science experiments, and the top level being more towards musical activities, there was so much to do - I would have loved to have headed back for a 2nd day.

We went to watch the space show during the day, within which 2 x members of staff explained all about space suits, explored space, shot a rocket and even made a hovercraft which they zipped about on - it was great fun, and the staff were extremely helpful and chatty, which in this day and age is very unusual.

I would definitely recommend this centre to any one - and would advise that the earlier you get there the better, as it does get busy.

I will of course be going back, when I am next in Cardiff.

We visited on a wet day in the holidays and even though the centre was very busy it didn't seem crowded as children move quite quickly from one piece to the next. An absolutely brilliant place to visit in Cardiff. We will definitely visit again. Great that we could use the Tesco Days out tokens to pay for our entrance fee too!

Cardiff, Techniquest Science Discovery Centre - Lots of educational fun for kids of all ages - includes interactive experiments, mazes, puzzles, PC room. Has a lift and a cafe with reasonably priced meals, specialises in toddler and kids meals, ating area outside too. Kids have fun and learn things at the same time. My two have been going since they were aged 2 and 6 and they still love it now (aged 9 and 13). A full day out and close to waterfront and centre of Cardiff.
