| Price | Adult £11 · Child £8 · Family £35 The official page links to prices without showing them, so the figures here are estimates. |
|---|---|
| Best time to go | Weekdays in term time; first slot. |
| School holiday tip | Early July is the sweet spot for Scottish families: English/Welsh schools stay in until about 20-23 July. Late August is the English/Welsh peak, so choose Tue-Thu and arrive at opening. Indoor venue: wet half-term days cause surges; check the forecast. |
| Best ages | Most suit about 5-12; free places suit short visits with younger children |
| If it rains | Mostly indoors: wet days tend to be busiest |
| Food | Coffee Mania café on the waterside overlooking Cardiff Bay. |
| Money saver | Many are free, so budget for parking and food only; go for 2 hours, not all day. |
| Top tips | Do the hands-on science zones first. Combine with Cardiff Bay. |
| What to pack | Snacks, water bottle, pram or carrier, wipes |
