What's on and what's inside?
We The Curious is Bristol's science centre and home to the UK's only 3D Planetarium.
Across our two floors, you'll find over 200 interactive exhibits about the world around us, from bubbles to brains, rainbows to robots, and tinkering to tornadoes.
Creative activities, workshops and talks in our main exhibition spaces are also included in your day ticket.
You can add a space adventure or a stargazing show in the Planetarium to your visit, with presenter-led shows available for all ages.
Come and spend the day playing, experimenting, and learning something new in our bright, colourful space.
We're open Tuesday to Sunday, 10am-5pm during term time or every day, 10am to 5pm during Bristol school holidays and on bank holidays.
