Techniquest is a good place to go for part of a day visit to Cardiff Bay and is especially good for children, who are likely to enjoy looking at the interactive exhibits and learning fun facts about science. Despite being suited well for family visits, Techniquest is often very busy which makes it hard to look around. Value also isn't... More

All three generations had a marvellous time. We thoroughly enjoyed the show called 'Do't try this at home' where they did experiments we were not game to do ourselves. There were lots of different experiments and activities on the ground floor, and musical ones on the upper floor. The explainers were helpful and friendly. We enjoyed our 2 hours there,... More

The large pay & display car park at the was at the rear of Techniquest in Havannah St. We arrived early morning, entrance fee was a... More

If you are spending time in Cardiff with your kids, and make it to the bay - go here. It's a wierd world of science-based activities which the little ones enjoyed playing with, while the older kids (myself included.....) had just as much fun figuring things out! A very different way to spend a couple of hours, and i'm sure... More

I've been going to Techniquest since I was a kid, now I take my two year old there and she loves it too. There are all kinds of activities to do and you know you will end up having a go of some yourself while your partner watches the child! "I'm just testing this one"! More

Younger children or kids who don't go to a lot of science museums. My daughter was 11 when we went to Techniquest. She had fun, but it didn't hold her attention for long. She loves science museums. This one was pretty good, but it was a lot of the same stuff we had seen before. I thought it was kind... More
