Science & Discovery Centres in Cardiff
Cardiff Bay is where you'll find Techniquest, a short hop from the centre. It's a proper science centre with a planetarium, plus a cafe and gift shop for afterwards. There's a membership scheme too, handy if your kids get the bug and want to go back again and again. School groups and birthday parties are both catered for here, which tells you it works well for organised visits as much as a Saturday wander. Toilets and food on site mean you're not dashing off mid-visit. It's indoor, which makes it a solid pick when the weather's against you, and with only the one science centre in the city, this is the obvious starting point for a family curious about how things work.
