On Friday 27 September, At-Bristol will be once again taken over by hundreds of toddlers in the next Toddler Takeover event - a day of water-based fun, aimed exclusively at under fives: Splish, Splash, Splosh!

There are simple science activities and lots of participation events to join with, as well as hundreds of hands-on exhibits to explore.  The theme of the event is water, and all things wet and wonderful! Little ones can come and water the plants, test out floating and sinking in our watery PlayLab and make a fish to swim home with you. There will also be special 'Little Stars' Planetarium shows running throughout the day, and a watery story with adventurers Ursa and Leo in 'The Strange Bathtub'.

The day runs from 10am-4pm and don't forget, all activities are included in the reduced admission price, plus there are plenty of family-friendly facilities including buggy parks, a picnic area and nappy changing facilities.
