It was fun, the staff was friendly. Unfortunately, the puppet show was always full, we waited in line for 10 then suddenly it was full. Need more food in cafè.. good for kids, he was having so much fun with all the science stuff

Sci tech was fun and absorbing for all of us. When we visited, there was a Whodunit exhibition sponsored by BHP - which presented a murder and got the kids to solve it. It was very well curated for all the scientific processes that the kids got to learn. And playing detective and having to guess who the murderer was
made it lots of fun! My older boy loved it and enjoyed solving the crime !
The other activities were set ups which were new to us also so it was good fun.
The Planetarium experience was wonderful . The stars we got to see .... nice!!!!
I was personally very impressed by the live bee hive installation. The bees were directed to the hive via a transparent tube that opened to the exterior of the building. But all the bees in their hiving activity were securely and safely kept within visible plastic structures.
We liked it that there was a space for eating BYO food but wish there were more earing choices nearby . There was just one cafe just downstairs , although a very nice and cosy one 😊☺
We were there from 11am-400pm closing time.
One of the best places in perth to take children. Full of hands on activities and also provides a theatre with science shows as well as a planetarium. There is a small cafe on site.
We visited on a weekend noon, and the place was busy with many children and their parents/minders. The entire floor is filled with interesting and very interactive exhibits for children to try out, and there are also additional shows like the Puppet Theater (our two kids were enthralled by the performer, and parents could sit behind and catch a break!), and the Planetarium that we unfortunately missed. Still, this museum is an easy way for kids to spend 2-3 hrs at, and we highly recommend it!
Good day out for a family with young children
would probably not go out of my way to come if you have older children/ teenagers
Have been taking my daughter to Scitech since she was two for the annual ToddlerFest. Have also been for a 'grown up' trip with work. There is plenty of interesting stuff there for all ages. The special events are very good and hours pass by very quickly. There is no food sold inside so either take a packed lunch with you or take the short walk to the food court in Watertown.
