As well as the usual 100+ hands-on exhibits to explore, Techniquest has an out-of-this-world live science show suitable for over-5s and a wonderful 7+ workshop on offer this Twixmas.
‘Technispace: Blast Off!’ explores the potential problems and perils that humanity may face in space as we look to follow in the footsteps of the great cosmonauts and astronauts before us.
In ‘Crime Lab’, hosted in Techniquest’s KLA Lab, visitors must recover a missing diamond and will dive into the world of crime-solving by looking for fingerprints, analysing mysterious clothing fibres, and uncovering the secrets of ink through chromatography.
You can enhance your Techniquest experience with one of these events at just £2.50 in addition to your general admission ticket.
The science discovery centre is open daily from 10am–5pm throughout the festive period (excluding 24–26 December and 1 January). Visit techniquest.org for more information and to book your tickets.
