  • I found this place overall impressive but I think there should be a place where all kids should wear sunglasses for experiments.

  • Great experience for young kids. It's a great way to start the learning of how/why things work. Lots of fun activities to do with a rotating attraction which was astronauts this visit. Parking is easy and if you are attending scitech you can pay at the pay stations inside which is $5 instead of $20 for everyone else. The biggest down side is that there is no option for food and drinks other than the vending machine, which is a disappointment as a coffee offer would do really well.
  • Absolutely incredible experience with my two children (6 & 8yo). We all had a blast and managed to look at a lot, but not all, of the exhibits in the 4hrs we were there. Parking was very easy, all the areas were well signed, food was delicious (coffee wasn't great).
  • Great place with great initiative with $5 parking fee for the duration. Fun for young and old. The kids can really spend a whole day here. My only disappointment was the bubble show; I thought it could be shorter and more bubbles.
  • We have 3 Year membership per kid for $35! Now its $35/Year per kid. But still commendable because it gives you privilege to book in advance online (handy during lockdown/school holidays/rainy weekend etc). Companion Cards are accepted, so the carer gets free access. Plenty to see. There are shows in Planetarium which is nicely customized for the age of the kids. Less than 5 minutes commute from the CitiWest Train station (If you want to avoid parking fees). There are 2 restaurants in the downstairs with reasonable pricing. Lots of Touch, Look, Hear and feel activity around. Highly recommended.
  • Good for kids but why is the current fasion of indoor, public spaces, dark, lights on and stuffy? Can we have some windows and doors open please? My Dad took me here when I was a kid and I remember the interior being light and breezy. I had a good time there though. I still do not know how that ball did not shoot off??? There was air comming out of a grate and one can put a ball above the expelled air and the ball hovered in air. I just can't see how it did not shoot off? There was written explanation at the experiment stations. I am 39 and was really entertained! We have a seven and ten year old and were able to let them run loose in Scitech. Good value for money 💰
