Events

Enjoy a day of fun and play-based learning without the school groups, while experiencing some of the vibrant cultures of Indigenous Australia.

Partnering with SNAICC – National Voice for our Children, Scienceworks celebrates Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Children’s Day with a special day dedicated to Koorie people, knowledge, stories and culture.

Explore Indigenous Australian constellations in the Planetarium, get involved in traditional performances and Aboriginal art experiences, and come to face to face with some real Australian animals including frogs, turtles and snakes!

Little Kids’ Day In on Monday 5 August will be a fun day especially for kids aged 5 and under, their parents and carers.
