Loved Catalyst! Rainy day......looking for something to do, so decided on catalyst.....very interesting Museum of the chemical industry that held all our interest! Loads to do for all ages....tots to teens...to oldies! All interactive activities were pitched at a good level and a couple of hours passed very quickly. Had the weather been brighter, next doors spike Island looked great... More

used to go regularly with my son he loved it. Have taken my neice and nephew they also loved it.

I visited Catalyst with my 10 year old nephew over the wet and windy Easter holidays.

Ground floor exhibition was full of hands-on experiments and my stepson thoroughly enjoyed it. We then went up to the 4th floor observation room in the glass... More
