Don't sleep on us! It's never too late to visit Techniquest 😃

"Yes, I did get on the floor to crawl in and stick my head through - I'm a big kid, what can I say? But that's what's great about Techniquest, it's not just for kids, the accompanying adults can get stuck in and have as much fun - and learning - too."

I'll gladly make a repeat visit despite not having been in the 40 years it's been open
