  • A great space to entertain and educate the whole family. You can get membership at the SC&P and get access to other places such as science works Melbourne & Questacon in Canberra. Great value and recommended. If you are not local - it is worth a trip to Wollongong!
  • Great place to learn about different science principles. There are so many hands on exhibits that you can spend a whole day here. The science show was very informative and great fun, aimed really well at kids.
  • This place is so fun! It's small, yet filled with lots of great exhibits. They explain and demonstrate things in a really simple yet engaging way for people of all ages. The staff were friendly and knowledgable, eager to encourage people (of all ages) to play and have fun while learning.
  • Wow great science. I'm not being forced to do this. I love science 5/5
  • Great exhibits for all travellers to come and visit! There were exhibitions about electricity and the solar system. Great staff team and the service was immaculate!
