Definitely a place to go if you have kids and try to find things for them to do playground, interactive displays, picnic area, show and tell session. Else, it's a little entertaining for adults too. The physical ground size is big but compared to other science museums I've visited, it's not as many things to see. However of you haven't been, do give a visit.
We took kids aged 5, 7, 9, 12, 14 and they all had a great time. Didn't expect to stay as long as we did as they were having so much fun! Highly recommend for value for money and a great school holidays program. We also booked the Tycho goes to Mars show in the planetarium, the younger ones loved it! Definitely recommend booking in advance.
Great place to bring the kids to expose them to science. The place is big enough to roam and the exhibits are interactive and not too wordy. I enjoyed my experience, and would recommend for adults too. Plenty of car parking pay parking available out the front.
Nice museum. Smallish in size, but good to spend a couple of hours we went on Dino day with a 4 year old, so in addition to the normal exhibits, they had some special dinosaur themed activities. It was very busy, but still able to get a go at the hands on exhibits. The sports section is definitely the best, lots of activities to try.Visited onWeekdayWait timeNo waitReservation recommendedNo
This is a wonderful place for both kids and adults to gain new knowledge in a fun and interactive manner. I went during the school holidays and it was quite crowded with families. I noticed the kids being quite engaged with the educational exhibits. The lightning room show was literally electrifying. The presenter explained concepts clearly and got the audience enthusiastically involved. Latecomers will not be allowed into the lightning room after a show has started, so make sure you arrive on time! All types of students get free entry to Scienceworks, but you will have to purchase tickets for certain shows.
Educational and engaging for the kids. Lots of interesting facts for the adults as well. Not that far away from Melbourne's city center. A must visit, highly recommended.
Great place to bring younger and older kids. We enjoyed it even as adults. Dedicated play area for under 5yo which my 3yo loved. Kept him entertained for a while. Definitely see the Planetarium and the Lightning room if you haven’t seen them before. Suggest booking ahead on a weekend or public holiday visit. We’ll definitely be back to see other things that are more suited to an older child.
Easy to park and friendly helpful staff. Lots of fun for the whole family! Easily spent 4+ hours there and super cheap entry price. Would definitely recommend packing your own lunch or heading to grazeland next door!Visited onWeekendWait timeNo wait
It was a really enjoyable place. The kids had a lot of fun, they learnt a lot of things. The workshop was pretty fun as well. Parking was really easy, they only charge on a flat rate which is good. The restroom was clean, the staff was really helpful as well.Visited onWeekendWait timeNo waitReservation recommendedYes
Scienceworks is a great place to stop in and visit with the kids. There is a dedicated 0-5 years area called Ground Up, different areas dedicated to different sciences i.e. Sport Science, Computer Technology, Astrology etc. They have a dedicated area for pop up displays - but it was closed when we visited last Thursday. These different areas are more suited to those aged 5-12 years. Out the back of the main building are the pump house, small cafeteria and pop up coffee shop and kids playground. Cafeteria food was above average, reasonably priced, clean and quick service. In terms of accessibility, it is very easy to glide through with a pram and the walkways are wide for the most part, so you aren't constantly bumping into people. There is also a lift to access the upstairs part of the building. From the carpark there are a lot of flat footpaths. There are a few toilets around too and in the Ground Up section - specific parent change rooms for the little ones. Parking during the week was easy and not hard to find a spot in the carpark. Note - carpark costs $5 for all day. On the weekend I imagine it would be a lot harder as the carpark would only hold a few hundred, the streets are narrow and being next to Spotswood latest attraction - Grazeland, it might be a little tricky. This science museum is not the biggest I've been to, but it's worth the visit at least once. We will be back again when our kids are a little bigger.
