We visited in May half term and it was fantastic. Enough to keep my 2 and 4 year olds interested for the afternoon, friendly, helpful staff and some really interesting exhibits. Plenty of clean toilet facilities and air con! The cafe is small with a limited menu but what is served is good quality and very cheap for what you get.

Fantastic few hours spent exploring and learning with my 2 and 5 year old. Even the grandparents loved it. The staff were informative and friendly. The cafe is basic and perfect for a quick bite to eat. Highly recommend

Fun and educational. Even as two adults we enjoyed it, we got to be kids ourselves and learnt a few new things. My 2 year old loved it, everything is hands on and within easy reach (they had steps on the side for toddlers) he enjoyed the freedom and interactive play. The people who work there are brilliant too.

My children 1, 5 and 6 loved it! I dare say my teenagers would too. I did! Spent 3 hours here and the experiments are brilliant! Rare that they all work like others I've been to in the past. Great value tickets and all facilities/shop etc. When we got home, my kids asked to go back tomorrow! Parking cheap locally and convenient cut through. Staff amazing. We will 100% be back and with my husband as he missed out!!! Lady doing the eggsperements was a fantastic host, very knowledgeable and happy to answer my daughters questions at the end. Even at closing time, a young man who worked there was happy to show my son how one of the experiments worked before we left. Thank you for a brilliant day out and keeping my active little ones amused in a safe and friendly environment! 😊

Had a really lovely day taking my busy two year olds to the toddler day (on monthly) They had lots of fun having a go on all the interactive activities and the extra activities which were set up for the day including messy play and Christmas decoration making. The space is amazing, very spacious and clean. The staff were all friendly, helpful and enthusiastic. In particular Emyr was very friendly and keen to show you how things work. There are lots of lovely factors which made a day out with toddlers very easy; picnic areas (where you could eat your own food), lockers, baby changing and a very reasonably priced cafe. You also got a wristband so you had the option to leave and go back. I really liked that there were lots of footsteps dotted around so they could play properly without having to lift them up! Would definitely recommend 😊 Parking was also easier than I expected, we parked at ty pawb multistory car park which is literally across the road and cost £3 for 3+ hours
