We The Curious

Do not go unless accompanied by children under 10! Familiar with the Science Museum in London and curious as to what a "science museum" in Bristol had to offer, I'm afraid We the Curious was a bitter disappointment for 2 adults. That its target audience is young children is not clear and less than15 minutes later and more than £30 poorer we were back at the entrance wondering why we had bothered. I think the staff should warn unaccompanied adults that there really is nothing of interest for them.

Had an amazing day with three 6 yr olds. They absolutely loved it. So much for them to do and see. Staff were absolutely brilliant too. So friendly and helpful. Highly recommended.

Brilliant! Took 3 grandkids age 2 to 9, all found it highly enjoyable, including the grandparents! It has a varied range of interactive scientific displays, with plenty of explanations on the principles demonstrated. For example, giant bubbles showing how the passage of light results in a multicoloured effect; a spinning metal disc on which various sized smaller discs on edge demonstrate the Coriolis effect (important in understanding weather as well as other things)
Don't miss the planetarium, especially the 3d, one of the 'wow' highlights.

There's a cafe and also an indoor picnic area. Parking close by at the Millenium Square. Also lockers to put rucksacks and bags in if required.

This was an amazing day out for the children. It certainly made them curious and they haven't stopped asking questions. Perfect! Highly recommend the planetarium too.

Brilliant time had by all. By all I mean grandsons aged 6 and 4 and grandparents aged 66 and 64! All exhausted at the end of our stay of 5 hours and there was still loads we didn't have time to experience! Cafe fine. Toilets clean. Staff friendly and helpful. Will certainly visit again

Visited with the kids over Half Term and really enjoyed it. There are loads of exhibits and interactive things to try and do. As part of your entry fee, you also get a barcoded wrist band which can be scanned throughout your visit, to make a fantastic record through photos and videos. By scanning your barcode you save activities you've done, which can then be accessed anytime via a website. Well worth a visit but be prepared to spend the majority of the day here.

Awesome day out for all ages! Planetarium is incredible. Also an amazing wedding venue (from personal experience!) with some amazing views over Bristol from the rooftop terrace :)

Good fun, and good value if you go for a late ticket 1.5 hours before close (you'll have to move around the exhibits quickly though).

I live in Bristol. And was looking for something to do with my 3.5 and 19 month old.

It was good. But I think, for the amount of money you have to pay, it's better suited to children aged five and up.

You have to pay extra for the planetarium experience, plus there's no parking, so the nearby multi-storey car park cost me £6.50. So that's almost £34! Lucky we brought a picnic.

It is fun. But I can think of other things that we would enjoy more for the money.
