Techniquest

Interactive experience
All Ages

Techniquest houses over 100 hands-on exhibits that open up the world of science and technology in a fun and unforgettable way.

From mind-boggling machines, curious contraptions and perplexing puzzles to tests of strength and skill — plus a fabulous silver slide — there’s something for all ages to enjoy.

You can feel the force of a hurricane and the tremor of an earthquake, create digital fireworks and perform a virtual operation, try to steer an underwater rover or dock a spacecraft, be mesmerised by the ant colony in the low light zone or step outside to the sensory garden for a view out across the bay.

With different zones that cover space, the environment, chemistry, biomedical and world issues, plus a Retro Area that’s always a big hit with younger family members, you can take your pick of which sections you want to spend most time in.

And if you run out of time to do it all in one visit?

Take a look at our Off-Peak Pass to find out how you can visit time and time again.


NEW! — Mini Metro Play Zone

The new Mini Metro Play Zone is perfect for under-7s to let their imaginations run wild, as they explore a colourful world of work.

Whether it’s taking a seat in the driver’s cab, setting up shop in the station café or working as a signaller and keeping those lines clear for trains to run, there are lots of opportunities to entertain our youngest visitors in this brand-new space.

Watch them as they become trainee engineers with us: pop on a bright yellow hard hat, grab a mini high-vis jacket and get set to play!

Created by the in-house Techniquest team with funding and technical support from Transport for Wales, Siemens Mobility and Balfour Beatty.

  Read our blog about how the Mini Metro Play Zone was created.
