Description
Techniquest is a science discovery centre, designed to engage people of all ages in science through interactive exhibits and live demonstrations. As well as 160 hands-on exhibits, we host a unique programme of special events for families and leisure groups. This includes captivating shows in the Science Theatre, fascinating tours of the universe in the Planetarium and a chance for visitors to experiment in the Laboratory and Discovery Room. During term-time, we run theme weeks for school groups on a range of topics aimed at every age from pre-school to post-16. There is also an active outreach programme, through which Techniquest activities and equipment tour venues throughout the UK.
