Review: Doctor Who exhibition Cardiff Bay

Located in the freshly regenerated and bustling Cardiff Bay nestles a not-to-be-missed exhibition for all Doctor Who fans young and old.

The Doctor Who, Cardiff, Up Close exhibition, lies barely a stones throw from the impressive Cardiff Millennium Centre, a popular location for the Doctor to refuel the TARDIS.

Featuring a variety of props, costumes and a visual display of working Cybermen and Daleks, the exhibition will suit children of all ages who are fans of the show featuring the tenth Doctor.

The exhibition takes around 20 – 30 minutes to get around with a fast child, but once admission is paid, a wristband allows re-entry to the venue throughout the day.

For families with just one Doctor Who fan it is best to take a stroll around the Bay or relax with a coffee whilst waiting for the enthusiasts to be dragged out of the gift shop.

Chopsy Baby visited the exhibition with two three-year-old and four-year-old Doctor Who fans who loved every second of it.

Whilst older children cowered at the Dalek display, the fearless preschoolers stepped up to the mark shouting at the ‘naughty’ Daleks and giving them a good telling off.

Only difficulty of the day was supporting the exhibition’s no touching policy.

Being up close to the exhibits simply proved too enticing a temptation for four sticky little hands.
