Top 5 Science Museums in Australia

16 Bedford St, Port Adelaide SA 5015, Australia

“My dad and I went in with rather little in the way of expectations but were amazed by the size and quality if the collections here. Far more aircraft than you would think could fit in the hangars including several you can walk inside and some you can even sit in the cockpit. Lots of informative displays, artwork from very talented local artists as well as plenty of staff around more than happy to delve into the history of a particular article. The front desk staff were also fabulous, gave us a very helpful guide to the museum along with some recommendations on what to look out for. Even if you're not an aviation history buff I would still recommend a visit you can spend a morning quite pleasantly just walking around.”

69 Plaistowe Mews, West Perth WA 6005, Australia

“Great museum section as well as open play consoles section. TVs seem to be matched to the era of the consoles they are plugged into. Large selection of games to play and some arcade machines too. Pass is all day so extremely great value for money. Staff were absolutely amazing, very passionate and enthusiastic! Would recommend to anyone.”

1 Main St, Springfield Central QLD 4300, Australia

“It's okay. Seats and cinemas are old. Food choices are limited. At least 15 minutes of ads before each movie. In the foyer, the seats are all stained and filthy. Save your money and go somewhere better: at Jindalee all seats recline and you get hot food and alcohol in all sessions. Plus everything's clean and the service is better. Don't bother here unless you absolutely have to.”

230 Lytton Rd, Morningside QLD 4170, Australia

“We had a fantastic time at 1Up Arcade. The flat rate price and free play is awesome. It means you can restart that game halfway through and kids get the chance to jam out games without worrying about a Game Over. Some real classic games in there. The Pinball machines were by far my favourite. Super cool. For the ability to be able to play up to 8 hours, I thought it was fairly priced and definitely got my moneys worth. Can't wait to go back.”

1098 Military Rd, Yeal WA 6503, Australia

“A short drive from Perth the Gravity Centre is a great alternative to the SciTech experience. The interactive school holiday rocket making workshop was great. Kids loved it and the presenter was awesome. We ended up spending a few hours seeing and touching the different interactive science displays. Lots of great potential for little Einstein's to get lost in the many different displays.”

Dunreath Dr, Perth Airport WA 6105, Australia

“Are you or your kids airplane lovers then The Perth airport viewing point is really a great option to get an awesome view of flight landing and take off. The flight landing 🛬 view is good and very close to the view point. The flight take off 🛫view too is good but not so close to the viewing area because few flights 🛫 take off soon before reaching the viewing area. The place is set in a very beautiful way. The viewing area is set in a very simple way and in a ramp style. There are few seating arrangements. But on sunny days it's very hot. It's good to bring water and hats. It's good to check the flight times before planning a trip to the viewing area. There are no toilet facilities available. Entry is free but there is timing April- September-7:30am to 5:30pm October - March-6:30am to 7:00pm Parking is available”

Parkes Pl W, Canberra ACT 2600, Australia

“We visited this large library and enjoyed the exhibitions and library facilities. Everything is well laid out and a it's a perfect place for reading as well as getting some work done. Besides books, there are computer facilities here for public use and a nice cafe with both indoor and outdoor dining areas.”

Kendall Ln, The Rocks NSW 2000, Australia

“Free entry, small yet well maintained. We spent half hour here.”

932 Pittwater Rd, Dee Why NSW 2099, Australia

“A great place for a kids party, worth every penny to be able to walk in and out with no cleaning or preparation! The facility is clean and well staffed, plenty of parking. Great music, good food and drink selection. Our party hosts, Ame and Charlotte, were so sweet and helpful with the kids. Nothing I asked for was a problem!”

10 Bridge St, Eltham VIC 3095, Australia

“We had our daughter's 4th birthday at Rare Bears yesterday. We booked the Big Bear party package (which is the bigger package of the two) which was perfect for the kids. There was a good variety of fresh food on offer which the kids all really enjoyed. I ordered a couple of platters (sandwiches and hot food) for the adults and we all agreed that they were delicious. Ella was our party coordinator on the day and she was fantastic. We couldn't have been happier with the experience. Most importantly, our daughter had the best time with her friends. Adam and the team were extremely professional and attentive and we can't thank you enough for making Zoe's day so special. We would highly recommend the amazing team at Rare Bears for your next birthday celebration!”
