Techniquest isn’t just for kids. It’s for big kids, too.
Our ever-popular adults-only event is back this October. Release your inner child (or demons) and have a spooktacular time with over 100 hands-on exhibits, a ghoulish live science show, electrifying demos and more.
We’re also bringing in some Oktoberfest-style food and drinks to make it a double celebration long into the dead of night.
Come along in fancy dress. You know you want to.
