Set in the heart of Cardiff Bay, there are two floors of mesmerising models, marvellous machines and mind-boggling interactive displays: launch a rocket, try your hand at virtual surgery, experience a real-life earthquake and even feel the force of a hurricane!
There’s something for all ages to discover and enjoy, with over 100 exhibits linked to five key themes: space, the environment, chemistry, biomedical science and world issues.
You can even take your Techniquest experience home with you by using an XTAG while you’re there. You’ll be able to keep a record of all your activities and findings, plus you’ll be able to dig deeper into the science behind the things you’ve seen and discovered, long after your visit is over.
You’ll also find puzzles, books, science kits and much more in Techniquest’s shop – the largest gift shop in the Bay. When it’s time for a break, take a seat in the coffee shop located near the entrance of the building and choose from its wide selection of locally-sourced drinks, sandwiches, snacks and cakes.
Techniquest welcomes visitors throughout the year. For opening times and prices, and to book your tickets, please visit techniquest.org.uk,
