Techniquest, Science center in Cardiff Bay, Wales
The exhibition space contains more than 100 interactive exhibits spanning topics from space exploration to environmental science and chemistry experiments.
Professor John Beetlestone and colleagues from Cardiff University established Techniquest in 1986, initially displaying 48 exhibits in a former British Gas showroom.
The center functions as an educational hub where visitors participate in hands-on experiments, planetarium shows, and science theatre performances throughout the year.
Located on Stuart Street, the facility maintains wheelchair accessibility throughout the building and offers discounted parking at Cardiff Bay Q Park for visitors.
As the first purpose-built science discovery centre in the United Kingdom, the building incorporates steel framework from its original 1995 construction.
