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...

A family with 2 toddlers and we had a good time there. The kalaidoscope zone dedicated for kids under 5 is great ! it's fenced off so you can relax your kids won't wonder around far. This area is the favorite for little kids. Some displays/exhibits need a touch up ... but still informative. The vertical slide is I think... More

Great facility and will keep the children entertained for hours. The vertical slide was a huge hit. Good for school groups. Some displays needed refreshing or fixing but generally all working well.

My son was attracted by the large dinosaur bones in the window, but turned out you couldn't touch them plus there were no others in there. Even so he really enjoyed it - you get stamped on entrance so can leave and go back anytime during the day which is a bonus. It's not huge, but there are a lot... More

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
