We The Curious

A hands-on science centre for trying things, asking questions and following an unexpected idea. Interactive exhibits make this a strong choice when a family wants to do something together, while the planetarium offers a distinct optional experience. Give experiments time instead of racing around the rooms.

Before you go

Book a day ticket and add any planetarium seats during booking. Under-sixes can attend 2D shows but not 3D shows; even babies need a reserved seat.

The practical details

Where to find it: One Millennium Square, Anchor Road, Bristol BS1 5DB.
Directions and arrival information ↗
Tickets and booking: Reserve all visitors, including free infant places and members. Planetarium admission is additional to the day ticket; check concessions and cancellation terms before paying.
Access and getting around: Use the Access and support page to plan for sensory or mobility needs. Essential personal-assistant arrangements should be discussed with the booking team ahead of the visit.
Official access information ↗
Visiting with children: Match planetarium format to the youngest child. Plan a meal break and room to repeat favourite experiments; school-holiday sessions can sell out.
