Featured exhibits were too short. They made the lego exhibit look huge on the website, but it was one room and was quite boring. We played lego, and we could have done that at home... Our 6 year old loved playing with the water feature, but it was only a small part of the whole day! Our 10 year old... More

I find it on the expensive side. Now that my daughter is getting older I will take her here on a rainy day maybe once, not much to do honestly for younger children and they can easily get bored. More

Went here with a group of friends aged 20-30 and we all had so much fun! I was the only local with some Australians and Kiwis and we spent a good couple of hours in here. So much stuff to do and play with! Great place to go for families... educational fun :) More

Tickets are pretty expensive esp if you are going with a family. The thing is that it's the same exhibits year after year and only 10% of the exhibits are changed seasonally. The first time was interesting but after that it's a bore and too expensive to pay to see same thing again. More

Went to Science World on April 4, 2012 and was very disappointed. One Third of the exhibits were not working and those that were looked old and worn. The renovations did not seem to make a big impact ... same old stuff. There was not a lot of staff around to interact with. The one thing we did enjoy was... More

I have a four year old and we were looking for something fun to do so we went to Science world. We had lots of fun and learned a lot. The price was pretty steep though. Luckily we had a coupon to get one adult in for free or it would have been a $85 dollar day for the three... More

This is absolutely a great experience for kids of all ages. Currently they have Dinsaour World, which the kids just loved (although might be a bit scary for the wee ones), and Lego - great for kids of all ages, plus all the usual attractions. It is very hands on, which the kids just love - it makes learning such... More
