Doctor Who Experience Tickets Now On Sale
The Doctor Who Experience in Cardiff will be opening its doors from Friday 20th July 2012 in Cardiff Bay
Sign up Here to receive updates via email about the Doctor Who Experience, fantastic competitions and other great Doctor Who special offers and promotions.
With thanks to BBC Worldwide…
Cardiff is getting ready to welcome BBC Worldwide’s multi-award winning visitor attraction The Doctor Who Experience this summer. With doors opening to the public on the 20th July demand for tickets has been growing and fans can now book their visit from the newly launched website Here
Advance tickets are priced £9 for children, £13 for adults and £38 for a family ticket for two adults and two children with school and group packages available. In March this year 3,000 Doctor Who fans flocked to Cardiff from all over the world for the Doctor Who Convention and the Doctor Who Experience is expected to be a major new tourist attraction for the city.
Philip Murphy, Managing Director of BBC Worldwide Live Events said: “The Doctor Who Experience is a celebration of the iconic BBC series and moving to our new home at Porth Teigr in Cardiff Bay, just minutes from where the BBC Wales television series is made is incredibly exciting. Visitors to the Experience in Cardiff will be able to fully immerse themselves in the world of Doctor Who.”
The Doctor Who Experience is the first ever interactive Doctor Who exhibition that invites visitors to star in their very own Doctor Who adventure. Arriving at the venue they will step through a crack in time to become the Doctor’s companion, taking on the challenge of reuniting the Doctor with the TARDIS whilst fending off threats from some of his most fearsome foes – entering a Dalek spaceship and finding a way through a maze of Weeping Angels. Featuring a replica of the Eleventh Doctor’s TARDIS which visitors get to fly themselves the interactive walk-through culminates in a stunning 3D finale that sets the scene for fans entering the exhibition.
The exhibition presents fans with the world’s most extensive collection of original Doctor Who costumes and artefacts stretching back almost 50 years to the very first series of Doctor Who.
The content of the exhibition is updated constantly with new items from the television series to ensure it is ever changing offering fans the chance to get up close to the incredible sets, costumes and props that feature in their favourite show. New items to be shown to the public for the first time in Cardiff include the Doctor’s cradle seen in A Good Man Goes to War; the Silence spaceship and the Doctor’s sonic cane from Let’s Kill Hitler with many more items being kept under wraps until the doors open on 20th July.

June 19th, 2012 - 10:23amwell the cybermen appeard in torchwood so why not the daleks in other spin off shows I mean we had the doctor in the sarah jane adventures so I want to see daleks!!!!!!!!
Tardis’nt
June 18th, 2012 - 7:07pmwhat i meant was why would he post something about shockeye in reply to a new monster in series 7?
and i think that it is because it would be overusing them plus steven moffat doesn’t have the time to write a spin off and the fact that they might have to re-design the daleks depending on what age it’s aimed at just like the slitheen in the sarah jane adventures, they looked much less imposing and their voices were less scary, plus the different shade of green and to top it all off, coloured collars! hope this helps 🙂

June 18th, 2012 - 6:47pmhe was on top i did not see you and since he was on top people would more likely respond to this question
P.S

Tardis’nt

June 14th, 2012 - 9:31pmin the two doctors there is a villian called shockeye. evan though he trys to kill and eat people however the doctor kills him. I don’t think that the doctor should of killed him the doctor is not like that aure maby Jamie would of killed him but not the doctor. yes he has cometed genocide but murder. I do not think the doctor should ever of done that the is really undoctorish
the astronaut of death
June 14th, 2012 - 7:49pmoff subject but
moffat has revealed that he has just invented a new SCARY monster for series 7 that may be as scary as the weeping angles and the silence
the TARDIS
June 14th, 2012 - 4:25pmThe shop was good though. There was no-one there to get you to hurry up.
the TARDIS
June 14th, 2012 - 4:24pmThe people who told us where to go obviously wanted to get another lot in so ruched us through it. And they wouldn’t let anyone who could reach the controls touch them. They either wanted to get us through quick and ruin the experience of the experience or were just really really evil.

June 13th, 2012 - 11:00pmI think it’d be too expensive to ship the stuff over there to be honest
Stormageddon
June 13th, 2012 - 10:38pmNot sure when you went then because I went 3 times in London and every time took the full 30 minutes to get round and on at least 2 occassions of the 3 I was there, I was able to get to the TARDIS controls !

June 13th, 2012 - 9:11pmwhy can’t they do something in new zealand!! it’s just not fair!!!!
the TARDIS
June 13th, 2012 - 8:31pmWent to the experience when it was in London. It wasn’t bad, in fact the 3D thing and the exhibition at the end were really good, but the 30 minute story was in fact only 15 and they only let 5 year olds use the TARDIS console they’d made for it. So basically we went there to be rushed through and cut off from the story.
