My family and friends had a fantastic day today at the soft opening - thank you so much! I’d forgotten in the time it’s been closed quite how amazing the live science team are: passionate, friendly, endlessly up for engaging with curious people of all ages and walks of life. My oldest (nine) was fascinated by the viruses game and the Tinkering Space and my five year old didn’t want to leave the shiny new leaning lounge. My partner was still contemplating the 3D planetarium show late into the night. The team got a very heartfelt “thank you for having us” from them as we left. Predicting a sell-out summer

We went the opening Sunday, post the fire that has caused We The Curious to be shut for a considerable amount of time. We booked in for the 10am slot and the doors were opened and tickets scanned at about 10 to, which meant we could enter the actual exhibit at 10 on the dot. Everything is hands on, fun, interactive and insightful. There was extra bit on, due to it being the opening weekend, however, even with these things taken out, I would 100% recommend a visit here. I, as an adult throughly enjoyed myself, and the 12 year old I was with was so engaged that we went round most things twice. Even though it was busy, there was still plenty to do, and we got to do everything. Thank you, and we will be back soon. As a side note, the ground floor, has been redone, and so most looks shiny and new (even if some are old exhibits reskinned) but the upstairs is very similar to before, so looks a little more tired (and certainly more familiar), however everything works and is great fun so this is not a complaint, just an observation. We spent around 4 hrs here (with planetarium at an extra cost of £4pp.)

I took my 3 year old as a day trip from Cheltenham and she absolutely loved it! Spent a good 3 hours there, I don’t think she missed a single thing. The queue time for the cafe was about 20 mins at lunchtime but other than that a really smooth day. Highly recommend

Have been waiting for years to visit and my children 7 and 9 absolutely loved it, as did we adults. The planetarium was excellent and well worthy the money. We spent the day 10-3pm and still didn't see and do everything. Food in the cafe was delicious. We loved it and so nice to have something different for my children to see and do. Will definitely be back!

Amazing place with lots to see and do for all ages. Lovely spacious picnic area and planetarium worth a visit. Gift shop a little disappointing. Usual pens pencils and expensive books. You need at least 4 hours to see everything. Lovely guy in the greenhouse talking plants and supplied kit to make your own garden in a jar.

We're so glad you're back WTC!! Such a brilliant day out for all ages. We came after finding a free ticket in our BS13 neighborhood (Deprived area of the city) and love that WTC regularly reaches out into such neighborhoods to encourage/make it possible for families to attend. Really flexible pricing and membership is very reasonable too, so we'll be asking for this as a Christmas gift. Keep up your refugee and asylum seeker work too! We have neurodiverse kids aged 2-10 and discovered today that there is a lovely quiet calm room for families to relax and take a break in if the busyness of the summer holidays gets too much. Very calming and full of sensory equipment. The staff are always so friendly and welcoming. Such a welcoming and safe feeling space for all. Thank you WTC, we'll see you again very soon!

We The Curious is truly an incredible place, I would even say it’s unique for the whole family. There’s no chance for boredom here, neither for adults nor for children. There are countless activities, fascinating experiments with physics and chemistry, as well as modern discoveries and facts. On the second floor, you can immerse yourself in the world of animation creation – from sketching to producing a full-fledged cartoon. You'll learn interesting facts about this art form and realize just how challenging and meticulous the work is. I also want to highlight the planetarium with its 3D journey through the corners of our Universe and solar system. You might not have enough time in just one day—we certainly didn’t. We will definitely visit this fantastic scientific place again. Huge thanks to the organizers for making this possible! 🥇

This afternoon I have had a fun visit with my daughters. We spent approximately 4 hours here and looked at most activities. There are so many interactive stations that really get you thinking. We had great fun and lots of laughs. The museum is wheelchair accessible.

Newly opened so a few teething problems but only in the cafe. Tills malfunctioning/cleaning/slow service. Well worth a visit. Something for all ages - grandparents to infants. The Planetarium should be booked in advance as age related. Found the entrance fee rather expensive for pensioners(£18.50)/out of towners. No parking.
