What visitors say
I went to Techniquest and found it to be a really fun and educational place for children. There are lots of interactive science exhibits where you can try things out and learn by doing. It’s especially great for curious kids because it makes learning science enjoyable and hands-on. You don’t really notice how quickly time passes while you’re there.

This was actually great fun for me. When we arrived there was no queue to get in and in general it was easy to try things out. There is a storage area where you can leave buggies and bags if needs be. You can get key lockers with a deposit. Lots of great things to try with two amazing hosts for the colorful chemicals show and the planetarium. 2 to 3 hours to see it all

Fantastic science-themed museum. Lots of varied interactive exhibits that kept us (2 adults, 2 15-year olds) entertained for several hours - there were quite a few that we went back to multiple times for another go! Great staff, very friendly, approachable and knowledgeable. The chap running and explaining the interactive planetarium was particularly good. A great museum.

A fun spot for kids, with plenty of hands-on exhibits to keep them entertained. However, the experience felt a bit limited for adults, with many displays lacking depth or variety. It’s worth a visit if you have children, but those seeking a more engaging experience might be left wanting more.
