Scienceworks (Museums Victoria)

“We went for a themed night. Valentine's under the stars. Got to be in the auditorium and saw a show. Also because it was in the evening and a special event we got to see the whole museum. There was music and little other displays added to the night. Wonderful arrangement and wonderful night. The staff was very knowledgeable and great!”

“A full day is not enough. Great for kids of all ages. Many high quality interactive exhibits, the shows are great to keep the fun element high. Don't miss the lightning theatre. We will need another full day to cover the remaining shows and exhibits. Although tickets may be available on the spot, always better to buy in advance online. They speed you thru the check-in process, if you do. One of those places where you feel the staff 'love their job'. Edited to fix typos”

“Went to Scienceworks for a special Valentine's Day adults only night at the planetarium! If you ever get a chance to do these sorts of special events, it's well worth it! So much fun! There were snacks and drinks available. Photobooth and a DJ 🕺🪩 Well done to the museum staff for setting up a fun night out 🩷”

“We visited Scienceworks Museum and had an amazing time. The permanent exhibitions, Think Ahead and Sportsworks, were really fun and interactive. The planetarium was super interesting and educational. Our 6-year-old absolutely loved amd had a blast at the temporary exhibition, Tinkertown. The museum also had two out door playgrounds. There's ample open space for kids to run around and families to have a picnic. Visiting the pumping station and seeing the restoration of the Great Melbourne Telescope were great added bonuses too. The only downside was the waiting time (20mins) to get tickets as their operating systems had crashed. But the staff was really amazing through it all.”
