WE have had a fantastic day here today. \link{http://www.intech-uk.com/Ideal for busy hands}

Lots of well explained exhibits-ALL interactive, lots of room, lovely building easy parking, handy cafe and the place was almost empty!
Woudl not recommend fo those under three really, 4 and 5 year olds will love it but not understand it - I think it caters for those right up to the aged of 16. I myself found some of it quite mentally taxing too but I am crap at science. The kids thought it was one of the best days out ever.

Thanks, I was going to ask if anyone had been.

We enjoyed it, food not great though, so we drove into Winchester and found a Pizza Express which was really nice.

thank you - this looks like a gem, might be stuffed with m/netters though!

Thank you so much for posting this - we went here at the weekend and ds (nearly 6) loved it (we all did actually).

we went again this easter, and I just wanted to add that the food is much improved, big selection!

For anyone with a disabled child, Intech do a reduced rate entry, though don't seem to mention it on their website (at least they didn't last time I looked). You need to take evidence of disability with you (so for ASDs take copy of diagnosis letter) and ask at the ticket desk for disabled child with carer entry. I paid for child entry, but got in free as the carer. Intech has a Lift between the two floors - which has a transparent side panel, so that children can see how it works.
