We The Curious

I can't say enough good things about my experience with We Are Curious Bristol! From the moment I stepped in, I felt a genuine sense of warmth and community. The team is incredibly knowledgeable and passionate, and it truly shows in every interaction. They have a fantastic range of events and workshops that are both thought-provoking and fun. I recently attended one on sustainable living, and I came away feeling so inspired and equipped with practical tips I could actually use. It’s clear they put a lot of care and effort into everything they do. If you're looking for a welcoming, engaging, and genuinely curious space in Bristol, this is it. Highly recommend!

We had a fabulous time here on Sunday afternoon. It was well organised and really interesting. As 2 adults we thoroughly enjoyed "playing" with all the hands on exhibits. It's fascinating, fun and educational all at once. A lovely lady called Shannon demonstrated a few things for us and gave us some interesting facts too. She was really knowledgeable and helpful. The planetarium show was an added bonus and amazing with the 3D glasses! Arthur gave us an excellent interstellar "tour" which was fun for the children but still interesting for adults and fascinating for everyone. He has a lovely manner and explained everything very clearly. I would thoroughly recommend this to young and old alike. It's fun, interesting and the staff were all lovely. 😉

We The Curious — A Wedding Venue That’s Truly One of a Kind We’ve had the absolute pleasure of photographing weddings at all sorts of venues, but We The Curious stands out as something really special. The planetarium ceremony space is unlike any other — an immersive dome that creates this incredible intimate atmosphere, perfect for couples wanting something unique and memorable. Sure, the low light can be a bit tricky, but that just adds to the mood and makes for some truly cinematic photos. The rest of the venue offers great flexibility with beautiful event rooms and balconies overlooking Bristol’s cityscape. The terrace is a favourite spot for guests to relax and mingle, especially if the weather plays ball. Plus, having the museum open for guests to explore after the ceremony adds an extra layer of fun and interaction that you just don’t get elsewhere. From a photographer’s point of view, We The Curious is a playground full of interesting spaces and colourful backdrops — perfect for creative couple and group portraits. It’s a venue that’s quirky, thoughtful, and full of heart. We can’t recommend it enough for anyone looking to throw a wedding that’s as unique as their love story.

Few things were interesting and interactive Very busy on our visit i would avoid day entry which was £20! entry after 3 is £11 and probably a lot quieter. We missed out on half of the activities because it was so over crowded. Following on others reviews on google it does seem more philosophical than science-y. Would still recommend to visit as a time filler

An absolutely amazing place! My 5 year old loved zooming around interacting with everything. There's enough detailed science exhibits (infornation plaques) for older visitors, while also having simpler demonstrating activities/interactive features for those with a shorter attention span. Throughout the day there are mini shows, demonstrations, story times etc that are free. There's also the planetarium shows (at an extra cost) throughout the day. Everything is sign posted so well, there's enough to explore for the whole day and a cafe on premise that you'd never want to leave. I have to say that the absolute highlight of our day was thanks to a staff member named Arthur. 5 STARS! From taking us through an environmental impact activity, to making sure to find us again (I had to rush out because said 5 year old ran off to the next cool thing) only to say 'thank you' for taking part in their research, to being there and supportive when there was an incident with another child, to pointing out the quiet room.... Arthur made us feel safe, seen, welcome, and included.

Thoroughly enjoyed our visit here with our 4 year old. He loves to touch everything so this was great for him (and us) I think he was a bit overwhelmed by how much there was to see and do. We spent a good 3 hours here and could happily of stayed longer. The activities/displays are so varied, but all have a learning objective. Special mention to the guy who was running the boat making workshop, he is a real credit to your museum, and took time and interest in our som making and testing boats. As Home Educators, we can't recommend this enough and will return when next in the west country. Our only disappointment was we missed the Planetarium show. We parked at Portway(?) park and ride and the bus stops literally outside. Cafe looked good but limited options and it's all vegetarian so we chose to eat elsewhere.

We took our 8 and 10 year olds at the weekend (from 10am - 4pm), as well as our own parents. Everyone had a fantastic time and we would all highly recommend a visit! There was a huge amount of things 'to do', which kept our kids engaged. There was a lot to learn too, some of which I think they absorbed, some they might do later. I wish we bought a membership as we will definitely go again, likely at least 2-3 times a year would be my guess without it getting stale. The planetarium is fantastic, highly recommend you pick up tickets for this too! Our guide 'Barney' (I think) did a great job, it was almost a nice meditation :) Plan ahead and buy tickets in advance, they do sell out.

We went as part of a school trip, and although all the staff at We The Curious were brilliant, Callum and Barney particularly stood out. They were incredibly kind, patient, and knowledgeable with our pupils, striking just the right balance of professionalism and humour. Even the shyest of pupils felt comfortable enough to ask questions. Both Callum and Barney took the time to show the pupils what was in the cases, letting them see and hold items like meteorites, shells, beetles, and more, answering every single question with enthusiasm. Thank you for such a fun and interactive trip! It’s an experience the kids will remember for a long time
