Hip Hip Hooray, it's many happy returns for Explore-At-Bristol

 

Time really does fly. Explore-At-Bristol, the city's special millennium baby, is 8 years old on Saturday 14 June and everyone is invited to come and join in the fun at its big birthday celebration.

Explore-At-Bristol celebrates its eighth birthday in 2008Birthday Festivities will be in full swing from 10am on Saturday 14 June and what's more, every 8 year old visiting on that day will be allowed in entirely free of charge. And, in a one-off competition to mark this auspicious day, the first person who can prove they were born on the day Explore opened, 14 June 2000, will win a year's family membership, giving two adults and two children the chance to visit as often as they like until their, and Explore's, next birthday.

Donna Speed, Explore's Commercial Director says, 'This birthday is really a double celebration for Explore, not only has it been open for eight years and given nearly 4 million visitors a brilliant day out, but for the first time since 2000, the attraction is now entirely financially sustainable and we are looking forward to many more years of making science fascinating and fun for everyone. Many Happy returns Explore, it feels great to be 8!'

Explore is packed to the rafters with fun and exciting things to do from steeling your nerves for a penalty shoot out in LoveSport to taking a walk through a tornado, from building suspension bridges to discovering the latest developments in genomics. Whether it's your eighth or eightieth year there's some amazing science to discover and do in Explore.

Explore-At-Bristol opens at 10am to 6pm everyday of the week. Entry on Explore's 8th Birthday is absolutely free for all 8 year olds. Visit the web site www.at-bristol.org.uk or call 0845 345 1235 to help plan your visit.
