Hip Hip Hooray, it’s many happy returns for
Explore-At-Bristol
Saturday 14 June 2008
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.
Birthday 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 8 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.
Entry on Explore’s 8th Birthday is absolutely free for all 8 year olds.
