Editorial, never paid. How the Dad Score works
We The Curious is Bristol's hands-on science centre on the harbourside, full of experiments you can touch, build and reset. Galleries cover everything from the human body to space, and the planetarium runs shows through the day. It is designed so children lead with questions and adults join in rather than lecture.
Why it works for a dad and child
You end up experimenting side by side instead of explaining from behind. That shared tinkering is the whole point of a father-child science day.
