- Manny RWollongong, Australia23 contributionsvery long beach - great for long strolls. very floury and fluffy soft sand (as are most beaches in the wollongong/shellhabour area). Great pools, heaps of parking, licensed restaurant open late, pet friendly sections, picturesque area, very clean water.Written 8 July 2020This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of TripAdvisor LLC.
- PKatGriffGriffith, Australia82 contributionsGreat three hours with the family at Science Space. Kids loved all the interactive exhibits and reckoned it was much better than ‘Early Start Discovery Place’. Only slight negative is the on-site cafe which Is very basic. Suggest dining elsewhere although I was told there is a proper cafe very near which is pretty good.Written 14 April 2021This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of TripAdvisor LLC.
- Tom BAlbion Park, Australia1,307 contributionsIt is very relaxing to sit on the beach and listen to the waves, the view is good and there is a cafe close by.Written 21 March 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of TripAdvisor LLC.
- EmilA91Sydney114 contributionsWe visited with a 2 year old and almost 1 year old (crawling). They both had the best time ever! Think Questacon but for younger kids - I would think the target group is 3-6. At first I thought it looked very small - but there is SO much to do. We didn't even get to finish it (missed out on the arts and crafts section) as the session is limited. 100% will be back.Written 21 May 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of TripAdvisor LLC.
- Michael J1 contributionAmazing experience that exceeded our expectations. Kids were equally as enthusiastic as the adults which was largely largely thanks to the volunteers who were very informative as well as welcoming. There is a lot of other great artifacts from the early 1900's that are well worth viewing as well the impressive collection of cars and motorcycles.
Highly recommendWritten 15 June 2021This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of TripAdvisor LLC. - Greg MWollongong, Australia18 contributionsGreat place to have a barbecue using the facility opposite the entrance road to the top lookout/Coast Guard.Written 26 January 2021This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of TripAdvisor LLC.
