NATIONAL MUSEUM CARDIFF REVIEWS

Lovely little cafe on site that sells sandwiches, cakes, and hot and cold drinks. The walk the ages has lots to look at and loads of information boards and videos you can watch. The videos have the option to listen in welsh or English and have subtitles. The staff are very friendly and knowledgeable as well, giving some amazing little facts. There are lifts on site to get between the floors. Some of the art expeditions upstairs were closed on our visit, but there is still plenty to look at. We spent about an hour and a half here, but easily could have spent longer here (I didn't get the chance to read most of the information boards due to excitable kids). Lots of parking nearby. Wheelchair and pushchair accessible. Lovely little gift shop and toilets available on site as well. Free entry, but there are plenty of donation points throughout. If you wish to donate. Some where you can put cash and some contactless donation points for card payments as well.

Amazing beautifully decorated Museum. We came on a Saturday and didn't need to prebook at all. Completely free to go in and we made a donation to visit the Selfie Gallery where we saw 2 pieces of Vincent Van Gogh art work. Staff are friendly and very knowledgeable. Disabled and child friendly too. Well worth a visit.

This is a great historical museum! Kids will love seeing all the natural history exhibits, including dinosaurs, rocks, and crystals. There's so much to explore, and the museum is quite large – we easily spent 3-4 hours there. It's convenient that they also have a shop, restaurants, and restrooms on-site.

TECHNIQUEST REVIEWS

My family and I enjoyed a good few hours at Techniquest. We began the day by attending a workshop in a lab. We were all able to complete some easy yet effective experiments under the guidance of a really engaging member of staff. It is suitable for children aged 9 and above and was a lot of fun! We spent the rest of our time exploring. There were so many interactive stations and we could have spent so much longer there. We didn't have time to visit the planetarium and would definitely like to return in the future!

Pleasant couple of hours spent in Techniquest with our son and young grandsons. Tickets bought in advance as very busy during the school holiday periods. Loads of science based things for children of all ages to try out to see how things work. Well worth a visit.

Great day out at Techniquest. It’s been a few years since we last visited and what a transformation it’s had with loads of extras for both the kids and adults. A good half a day but you have the option of wearing your wrist band, leave the venue and come back during the day.

MUSEUM OF CARDIFF REVIEWS

An award-winning museum in the heart of the city. The Cardiff museum tells the story of Cardiff through the words and objects of its citizens. The history of Cardiff from the world's first record shop through migration stories and social justice campaigns. There are events for toddlers- look for Dinky Dragons adverts as well as other events. You can also visit the beautiful tiled corridor restored with money from the lottery. The Museum has won many awards since its establishment a little over a decade ago. Sadly the temporary exhibition space was taken away and no cafe but it is fully accessible with accessible toilets. It's free to all.

Very nice little place with lots of local history, from Roman times to today. I especially enjoyed the chat with the historian there, he was very knowledgeable and gave me a few tips on where to go next. I also loved the dolls house showing decor changes over decades, absolutely gorgeous. And the hidden corridor in the back with the original tiles, stunning! And best of all, entry is free!!

Wonderful focus on the city's history and culture. Some incredible videos of first-hand accounts of days gone by. Kid-friendly in a dynamic space with lots of vivid history accessibly displayed. You can do as little or as much as you want. It is free, so consider donating. VERY central in Cardiff.
