Very interesting, everything works well and I learnt a lot. This summer they have a scheme on which makes it slightly cheaper and we took advantage of late entry - arrived at 3pm and were there until 5pm which was definitely worth it (late entry is cheaper)

We got a gift voucher from friends to this amazing place. We live in area many years but have never heard of it. Now I am sure my son will ask me to return there again and again. We suggest to get tickets for Planetarium show, well worth a money. Something to keep in mind - with a day ticket you can return through out the day several times. My son didn't want to leave unless we tried out and seen everything there We The Curious made us curious.

Had the most wonderful time here!! The exhibits are extremely fascinating and very interactive!! Super kid friendly, but also amazing to bring a date or a mate!! Would absolutely recommend the planetarium - thank you Hazel for such a wonderful experience guiding us through the stars. Can't wait to come back!

I went to We The Curious in Bristol with my nephew and honestly it ended up being one of those days where both the kid and the adult end up enjoying it just as much as each other. The place has this mix of science, colour and hands on stuff that keeps you busy without even realising how fast the time goes. We both had our own favourite bits. For me, I really liked how interactive everything is. Nothing just sits there gathering dust, you actually get to press things, spin things and figure stuff out. My nephew absolutely loved the colour octagon wheel, and I have to admit I did too. It is so bright and weirdly satisfying to play around with. We must have stood there for ages just messing with it. Another thing I really liked was how friendly the staff were. They actually talk to you like they enjoy being there. My nephew loved the little experiments section where you can try out different gadgets and watch stuff light up or move. It kept him completely focused which is rare for him. The planetarium though, that is the best bit of the whole place. You go in thinking it is just a dome with stars, but it is amazing and creative and feels like you get pulled into the show. Barney the host was brilliant as well. Really funny, really clear and you can tell he enjoys what he does. He made the whole thing feel alive, like you are actually floating around space instead of sitting in a room in Bristol. I also liked how much variety there is. Every corner has something different going on. My nephew enjoyed the section with shadows and lights, and we both liked the big mechanical displays you can play with. By the end of it we were both tired but still felt like we could have stayed another hour. Overall We The Curious is one of those places that gets science right. It is colourful, creative and fun without feeling like school. If you go with kids they will be buzzing, but even as an adult you end up enjoying it more than you expect.

We The Curious is a strong choice for a family-friendly outing or even for adults with an interest in science or interactive learning. It hits the “fun + learning” sweet spot, especially for those who like to try things hands-on. Just be aware of the crowd factor (go at a calmer time if possible) and the need to pick your planetarium show wisely. If you’re heading to Bristol and want somewhere that’s educational and fun this is a “go” in my books. There is a dedicated car park run by the organisation so parking is not a headache. There are also restaurants within the premises that cover your food choices
