Toddler Day

On Toddler Days, pre-school children have exclusive run of the exhibits in a safe environment.

• 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.
• You’re welcome to breastfeed on the exhibition floor, but if you would prefer to use a private space instead, then The Pod is available too.
  Babies at Techniquest will also give you more helpful information on bringing your youngest to visit us.

Storytime + Make & Take: Bubble Trouble

Best friends Rueben and Felix love blowing bubbles, and the bigger, the better.
But after Rueben challenges Felix to a contest, the two go head-to-head and bubble-to-bubble… with disastrous results. Can they keep their friendship from going POP?
Join us on an interactive sensory adventure, as we see how big we can make our bubbles, make our own bubble wand to take home and even look at bubbles in the dark.
