“Fab venue for children's party!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 23 April 2012

We booked for our 12yr old's birthday party and it was just perfect, faultless and fun! Wonderfully friendly staff really good with children. Endless things to interact with and lots of fun for all ages. Great choices for party food and we choose a session in the Planetarium which was lovely. Highly recommended for a fun day at a very...

We spent the better part of a day at the "Discovery Science and Technology Centre" during the school holidays last summer, and our kids still get excited talking about it. They really enjoyed the "Motion" show that was being done live in the auditorium, and the "Vertical Slide" is a must try for all ages! Great fun for the whole... More
