There's so much to see and do
We The Curious is home to over 200 interactive exhibits across two floors.
It's a place to play, experiment, test out new ideas and have fun together. You can explore at your own pace, in any order you please, and stay all day.
On the ground floor, you'll find our newest exhibition - Project What If - which is inspired by the questions people have asked us. There's also a playful space all about air and flight, and the everyday science in our food.

Upstairs on the first floor, you can solve giant puzzles, play with tricks of the light, make animations and find out how our brains and bodies work together.
You'll also find our Planetarium on the first floor. Our 3D and 2D space and stargazing shows are written and presented by our in house team, with a range of shows available to suit all ages.
