Gravity Discovery Centre, Gingin

Visited on Friday evening for the night tour. We arrived at 5:30pm for our pre booked dinner. Frank the volunteer greeted us (a lovely man with a cracking sense of humour). The meal was fantastic, fish and chips, vegetarian panini and chips. We then explored the centre which has many hands on and interesting activities. At 8pm we watched a slide show and presentation and we’re split into groups. We went outside to observe the night sky and look at the light pollution from Perth. Then we went to the observatory viewing deck to learn more and use the telescopes. It was fascinating the astronomers were very informative and patient answering many questions. We saw Saturn and Neptune absolutely amazing. At the end of the session there was an opportunity to look through the telescopes again and wander around the deck. The sky was breathtaking with the twinkling stars. My husband and I knew nothing about astronomy prior to attending but we left feeling a little more knowledgeable. We will definitely return to do another tour it us the best value for money. A brilliant evening, highly recommend.

Great place to show kids some magics of science & a brief on the universe. $52 family 2 adult & 1 kid. Please check price details and allow yourself about 4 hours. Full day and group visit should be great. Please contact before group arrival, so that you will not miss anything. Try a good sunny day. We missed the tower view and experiment because of cloudy weather.

It's definitely worth a visit when you are up around this area. Ticket price includes indoor galleries, outdoor trails and a climb up the tower. You are also given two water balloons ((one small and one large)) to drop from top of the tower

We took our 2 young boys (3 and 6) and everyone had a brilliant day out. We honestly thought we'd be there for maybe an hour, ended up staying for about 3. There was a great half hour round trip walk to check out the miniature solar system (outdoor walk, ~1km each way), the climb up the gravity tower to drop the water balloons, lots of displays showing off space and our planet (a bit more interesting for the adults) and heap of interactive displays for the kids to play with. It's located close to Gingin and well worth a full day out.

Interesting experience. Located few km from the main road; you do have to look out for the signage so you wont miss it. No entrance fee but you need to pay if you want to enter their gravity hall/lecture theatre. Cafe area is spacious with displayed science projects, tools/gears/apparatuses and mini exhibitions. It's a good place for a curious young minds. Other activities for young kids are available.
