Toddler Day
On Toddler Days, pre-school children have exclusive run of the exhibits in a safe environment.
Book tickets
- The bright colours on the exhibition floor appeal to young children, who are encouraged to explore. Techniquest is buggy-friendly, with nappy-changing facilities and lockers available.
- We have a water area so it’s a good idea to bring a change of clothes for the little ones.
- Hot and cold drinks and snacks will be available to purchase from Coffee Mania. Please note that food and drinks cannot be consumed on the exhibition floor, however there is a Picnic area available for use. We regret that there will be no bottle or food warming facilities.
Additional activities
Storytime + make & take: Pirate Stew
Long John has a whole crew of wild pirates in tow, and — for two intrepid children — he’s about to transform a perfectly ordinary evening into a riotous adventure beneath a pirate moon.
It’s time to make some PIRATE STEW! Join us on an interactive sensory adventure as we explore what goes into the perfect pirate stew.
