Your Easter adventure with We The Curious: A day out full of surprises


This Easter, join us for an action-packed adventure where every corner holds a new discovery. 

Step inside to play and experiment, solve puzzles, explore new worlds and wonder 'what if?'

With over 200 interactive exhibits and a ticket that lets you pop out for a Harbourside stroll and back in for an experiment, it’s the ultimate flexible family day out.

 

Easter holiday activities 

 

  • AI in the City (Theatre of Curiosity) How does a computer see the world? Enjoy a fun exploration of Artificial Intelligence using a giant playable map, building blocks and a card game called ‘Is it Cat?’. You’ll uncover the hidden and interesting ways we use AI in Bristol, see how it works and think about how it will change our lives.
     
  • The Missing Ingredient (The Kitchen) Can you bake a cake without flour? Head to the Kitchen to investigate the delicious chemistry behind your favourite sweet treats. 
     
  • Fairytale SOS (Live Studio Show) Help some magical creatures with curious difficulties! A high-energy, interactive live show where we find scientific solutions to fairy tale problems.
     
  • Passport to the Stars (Open City Lab) What kind of curious are you? Take on five space-themed challenges, from hearing Mars to smelling Jupiter, and earn your Curious Cadet badge. You’ll be part of a real research project about careers in science.
     
We recommend booking ahead during the holidays as tickets are limited.

Space exploration for under 6s

Due to eye health restrictions, 3D shows aren't suitable for children under 6. Instead little ones and their grown-ups can pack their space bags and prepare for launch in interactive show Space Explorers 2D.
