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.

Star Stories: Elmer
Get cosy with a plushie in our snug Planetarium, for some storytelling under the night sky and a short adventure into space.
This month’s book is “Elmer” by David McKee — Elmer, a unique, multi-coloured patchwork elephant, attempts to blend in with his grey herd by painting himself a normal colour, but soon learns that his individuality and joyful personality are valued by his friends.
