Hands-on Science for the Kids

Scienceworks is a part of the Museum of Victoria. It lies across the Westgate Bridge and combines modern buildings and the old sewerage pumping station with a nature walk, playground and more to offer kids of all ages a full, interactive experience.

Volunteers acts as guards, protecting, and resetting the exhibits (for example, the archeological dig, where kids can brush sand away from a fossil), and presenting subjects such as rocket travel. There are buttons everywhere, tests of skill and speed to demonstrate scientific experiments in a fun way. Exhibitions change regularly.

Scienceworks is on the Western Coastal Bike Trail, see also:
