Explore-at-Bristol

This #100 million project, recent winner of a "Family Attraction of the Year" award, is all about discovering how science and the world around us works and is fully hands-on, making it perfect for kids. There are a huge range of exhibits, including displays on the human brain, sound and music, communication technologies and scientific curiosities. Check out the amazing Orange Imaginarium (planetarium) - a stainless steel sphere in which you sit in darkness and watch star shows. There's also the "Move It" feature, which uses a whole host of pumps, levers and pistons, to show how we have harnessed nature through technology. Another star attraction is the display that allows you to experience what it's like to enter the eye of a tornado - a big favourite with children! There are two other attractions in the At-Bristol complex and you can buy a ticket for all three for #15.50 each. Admission is #6.50 for adults, for children aged three-15 it's #4.50, and a family ticket costs #19.
