Techniquest makes learning about science fun for all the family and is a great day out. The discovery centre houses 160 interactive exhibits designed to excite and educate both young and old. Since opening in the city centre in 1986 Techniquest has become increasingly popular and is now situated in Cardiff Bay. In addition to the exhibits, there are tours of the planetarium available and visitors can conduct their own experiments in the Discovery Room. The centre hosts a large number of special events all year round.
