Dissapointed with techniquest because it doesn't seem to have changed much over the years. I have brought my kids a few times hoping for change, but it's all the same and we are in and out within an hour. Quite expensive too.

Grandma's revenge... I took 11yo girl and 5yo boy on Saturday - the family are all huge SF and Fantasy fans, and watch the Big Bang Theory all the time, so it seemed like a reasonable choice for a day out. 11yo was slightly dubious, but she went for it anyway. We got there about 11 and spent a very... More

Really gets the information over to the children in a way they understand and remember. My son really enjoys it here, and always learns loads. They cover all the science subjects and have lots of hands on exhibits to try out.

This place fascinates me but its a shame theve got rid of loads of the stuff they had there like the wall of mirrors. Still a really cool educational place though

A brilliant way to spend a few hours - I am sure I learnt as much as my son did! Very helpful staff, really well laid out with plenty to do. Thoroughly recommend.

I always wanted to go to techniquest, but having no kids I didn't feel I had an excuse. And it's not that cheap. But the adult only nights are free and there are some very cool live shows (small charge) plus you get to drink alcohol and play on the equipment. What more could you want?!

We took our young children here and they had a whale of a time. The parking was close by and reasonably priced. There are loads of things for the kids to do and you can happily spend an afternoon here. My only complaint was that there wasn't a secure cloakroom to store our belongings.

Visited for a couple of hours before heading off to Dr Who and not disappointed. My 8 year old was initially disgusted as it was Toddlers Day and though himself too old but quickly found lots to see and do, showing younger children how things worked! He really enjoyed it and was upset when I said we had to leave... More

Really like Techniquest, Not somewhere you would go for a full day out, but you can spend a few hours here, and there was plenty to keep both myself and my 2 year old entertained, she particularly liked the water area but be warned, they will get soaked if they are little and playing in this area, so my advice...
