Many of the hands-on things didn't seem to work. Those that did had people waiting. More

A lot of things didn't really work, or weren't that exciting. Planetarium was good. More

Loads of hand-on science experiments for kids to have fun with and learn from, all indoors. Indoor picnic area and a reasonable cafe. Helpful, friendly staff. The highlight for me was going into the planetarium for the Astronaut show - a must see! Our two boys are aged 9 and 7, and were the perfect age for Intech. Suggest allowing... More

Went with two 9 year olds and they had a great time. So much to play with! Their school was on an INSET day and we arrived just after 1pm. There were 2 huge school parties on day trips but they were mostly having lunch so no queues for the exhibits. After our lunch (in the nice little cafe) we... More

The centre has loads of interactive machines which keeps the kids busy. One such machine was the flight simulator. This is great for kids and adults too. If there are groups of kids who visit the centre - then it can get very hectic. Queue times are inevitable long because all these kids gather in one big group and it... More

Lots of exhibits to play with and the learning is incidental. There is plenty of clear information on display boards for any parent who were asleep in their school science lessons. We noticed a number of new areas since a visit of a couple of years ago. contra to other comments here, toilets absolutely fine. There was a proportion say,... More

Highlight of Intech is the huge range of kids activities. The downside are the unusual opening and closing times. This meant that an afternoon visit was curtailed when we were told we only had "one hour to go around" and no offer of a reduced entry fee to do so. In that respect we were a little disappointed. The key... More

Our policy for visitors with less than an hour of opening after arrival is to offer tickets to return another day; I'm sorry you weren't offered this on this occasion. We'll feed this back to the front of house team. Re opening times, for the... More
