Techniquest

“We took our six year-old grandson and five year-old granddaughter by train to Techniquest today. Ten minutes level walk from Cardiff Bay Station it was easy to find, crowded and hugely absorbing for the children and fairly shattering for us! Scores of grandparents and parents were nonstop busy, often bewildered by all the science, and sought refuge in the café. "You've worn me out you 'ave Daniel" was one parent's summary for his Bakewell tart-chomping son. There's every kind of physics, chemistry, geology and biology exercise here. The no extra charge, sit down electrocardiogram machine was my favourite, closely followed by the Brownian movement demo which reminded me of the Chernobyl scene when the top of the reactor blows off.”

“A pretty decent science museum in a prime seafront location. We went on the discounted rates after 3 PM so it was a bit of a bargain. Lots of cool things to see and do we also opted to see the planetarium too. Spent about an hour and a half in there so wouldn't say it's an all day thing but a good time pass for an hour or two whilst visiting Cardiff.”

“I went to Techniquest and found it to be a really fun and educational place for children. There are lots of interactive science exhibits where you can try things out and learn by doing. It’s especially great for curious kids because it makes learning science enjoyable and hands-on. You don’t really notice how quickly time passes while you’re there.”
