About

We The Curious is an idea and a place for everyone. We're all about asking questions, getting creative and testing things out. Science is collaborative, living and a vital part of culture. Our venue on Bristol’s harbourside is a bit like an indoor festival, with all sorts of different experiences, where you can interact with exhibits and take part in experiments. It’s where boundaries are removed between science, art, people and ideas Our venue is less SHHH and more playful - DO touch the exhibits, DO use your phone, DO laugh out loud, bring your kids, friends, grandparents or come and escape on your own. Curiosity is the engine that drives both artistic and scientific enquiry. It’s something we are all born with. It is the seed for beautiful questions that lead to deep learning and new discoveries. So we need to empower everyone to keep asking questions, and have a voice in shaping our collective futures.

Excellent accessibility and staff for helping.

Hello, I visited with my severely disabled son in a wheelchair (he has the developmental age of a baby) and also my severely autistic 9 year old. I also have 2 other children. I contacted via Twitter in advance and received very helpful information which encouraged me to visit. Carers are free. Easy to get enough space even on a busy rainy Sunday.
